Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy does not have to worry about going to Germany this year as his coach, Marco van Basten, has said that his place is not in doubt .
"I made clear to him (Van Nistelrooy) that he should not worry about his spot in the Dutch squad," Van Basten said in an interview with the Dutch weekly magazine, Voetbal International.
"It has not been easy for Ruud sitting on the bench but...it has been impossible to leave Louis Saha out since the Carling Cup final, given his tremendous scoring form," Ferguson said in the match programme for Wednesday's game.
"Playing three strikers is possible in some games...but not always because it can leave the wrong balance.
"The one thing that's certain is that all three will play their part and help us maintain the momentum."
Van Nistelrooy is currently joint points scoring leader in the Premiership this season with 19 goals along with Arsenal's Thierry Henry.
