Man United legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson and the club's iconic striker Ruud van Nistelrooy have reunited years after their bitter fallout.

And Ruud van Nistelrooy is among the few players whose relationships with Fergie did not end well after working together at the Theatre of Dreams.

Ferguson signed Van Nistelrooy from Tottenham Hotspur in 2001, with the legendary Dutch striker playing an important part in the Scotsman's team between that period and 2006.

Nistelrooy, however, departed United in controversial circumstances, with the former striker alleged to have labelled Ferguson a "Scottish pig" before he sealed a switch to Real Madrid.
