same sentiments theres never a doubt that he can score however its a well known fact that he is a "fox in the box "type of player. Look at most of his goals u will know that it depends quality service from the midfield to the box and thats where he really get dangerous. Once u cut it out (which not many clubs can do) or when man u played against a more physical side eg liverpool thats it man. Besides Rudd is not the player who are able to hold off defenders fast before he gets swarmed by opponents. It doesn't help when he cant open up his play too.
