Van Nistelrooy 'proud' to reach ton
Ruud van Nistelrooy celebrates after scoring his 100th goal for Manchester United
Ruud van Nistelrooy said he was "very proud" after netting his 100th goal for Manchester United.

The Dutch striker achieved the feat during the Premiership champions' thrilling 4-3 victory against Everton on Saturday.

"I'm very proud to have scored 100 goals for United," said Van Nistelrooy, who took 131 games to reach the mark.

"Last week my 99th was the winner and this week I got 100 and 101. I am delighted obviously."

Van Nistelrooy is the second quickest to reach the mark for the Red Devils since World War II.

Scotland legend Denis Law is the only player to score 100 goals faster, taking just 111 games.
