4. Ruud van Nistelrooy - Manchester United
Van Nistelrooy was an absolute goalscoring phenomenon in his Manchester United days. His performances at PSV Eindhoven caught the eye of Sir Alex Ferguson, who bought him in 2001 for a British record transfer fee of £19 million. Developing a reputation as one of the most lethal strikers in the world, van Nistelrooy scored an astounding 150 goals in just 219 games for the Red Devils.
In his very first season, he set a record by scoring in 10 consecutive league games, a streak that extended into his second year at the club. He was the driving force behind United's Premier League title in 2003 and had a brilliant record in Champions League, a title which he never won.
He eventually had a falling-out with Ferguson and Cristiano Ronaldo, which lead to a transfer to Real Madrid in the summer of 2006. His exit may not have been ideal, but van Nistelrooy will always be remembered as one of the greatest strikers to have played in England thanks to his incredible record.
