PARIS: Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ryan Giggs, two key men in Manchester United’s domestic success story, go their separate ways today hoping to translate their club form into international glory by leading Holland and Wales to the Finals of Euro 2004.
Van Nistelrooy looks set to get the nod from Dutch coach Dick Advocaat to start his side’s play-off first-leg clash against Scotland in Glasgow while Giggs has been pin-pointed as the dangerman by Russia ahead of their showdown in Moscow as Wales aim to qualify for a major Finals for the first time since the 1958 World Cup.
