Ruud van Nistelrooy was once revered at Manchester United - but now the Dutch striker may be about to land a young starlet previously pursued by his former club.
The former Premier League winner is currently in charge at PSV Eindhoven, and is on the verge of leading them to a second-place finish in the Eredivisie behind champions Feyenoord. But much of his summer could now be spent battling to secure the signing of United States international Ricardo Pepi.
The 20-year-old forward has been on loan in Holland this season with FC Groningen from German club Augsburg and his form has ignited interest from the country's biggest clubs. Sure enough, it is the top two Eredivisie clubs most heavily linked with a £10million move.
