The normally free-scoring Dutchman has endured a difficult campaign, suffering hernia, Achilles and heel injuries which have limited him to just 23 senior starts. Ferguson has cited van Nistelrooy's lengthy absences as one of the major reasons why his team hit the net on only 58 occasions in a sorry Barclays Premiership season, a crucial factor in their second successive third place finish. But the more positive news ahead of Saturday's showdown with Arsenal is the �18.5million striker has now scored four times in as many appearances and showed distinct signs of hitting top form again in last weekend's win at Southampton. The 28-year-old bagged a brace in last season's Final win over Millwall, part of an astonishing 110-goal haul in his first three seasons at Old Trafford. He is certain to start this weekend against the Gunners, and Ferguson feels his presence will give United a significant lift as they look to defend their trophy for the first time and leave Arsene Wenger empty-handed. "In the years he has been with us, Ruud has been the most outstanding striker in Europe," said the United boss. "He record has been phenomenal. "The timing of his most recent injury was unfortunate given he was still getting match practice after the Achilles problem but there have been signs over the last two or three weeks that he is coming back. "He looked a lot better for the first hour against Chelsea and at Southampton he improved even further throughout the whole game. "He has trained very well this week and there is no question it is important to have him available." Ferguson has often stressed the importance of a regular goal supply to any striker's confidence but for a player of van Nistelrooy's ability, a barren spell is even more keenly felt. His efforts against Chelsea and West Brom have taken his seasonal tally to 16 and though it is well down on his previous efforts, he is only one behind Wayne Rooney and still has a chance of claiming his customary position at the head of United's scoring charts. "Ruud loves scoring," observed Ferguson. "It is the only thing he is interested in. "To get four in the last four games can only have helped him and hopefully he will demonstrate his abilities even further on Saturday." long live ManUtd, Dein = KEEP Manchester United Football Club INDEPENDENT = __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
