From Sky Sports:
"The departure of Roy Keane had a massive impact on Ruud," van Hanegem told the Sunday Mirror.
"In the dressing room Ruud openly sided with Keane when Ferguson decided to separate the player from the club.
"Because of Ruud's passion and determination he would not keep his mouth shut.
"Ruud can go far, sometimes too far and that has worked against him at United."
"Ruud was completely overwhelmed by Sir Alex when he first got to know him. When Ruud got injured the first time he was going to move from PSV Eindhoven to United, Ferguson kept in touch with him all the time," added van Hanegem.
"But now Ruud has come to realise, I hope, that Ferguson's caring had nothing to do with a human touch. It was only because Ruud was a world-class striker and Ferguson was desperate to get him.
"Now Ruud has found out the hard way. He has also realised that Ferguson has a funny way of ditching his biggest stars. Ruud has seen what happened to David Beckham, Jaap Stam and Roy Keane."
