Sir Alex considers striker move
Reds boss Sir Alex Ferguson is unsure whether he will sign a striker to replace Ruud van Nistelrooy, but says his squad will be strong enough to challenge for the top honours.
Van Nistelrooy, who scored 150 goals in 219 matches with the Reds in five years at the club, left for Real Madrid last month, leaving Sir Alex with five strikers at his disposal: Wayne Rooney, Louis Saha, Giuseppe Rossi, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and, in three weeks' time, Alan Smith, who is recovering from a broken leg.
Asked if he would attempt to sign another striker, the United boss responded: "We have one or two decision to make about that. But, if you look around you have to say there are not many centre-forwards we would really go for, in terms of what we would need.
Reds chief executive David Gill confirmed that United are looking at possibly two more signings this summer. A ball-winning midfielder is certainly on Sir Alex's shopping list, but he says a decision must be made whether to move for a striker. The United boss appears to be leaning towards the players he already has in his squad.
"It is more likely Giuseppe Rossi will stay now that Ruud van Nistelrooy has left," he said. "Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has come back and is looking promising. The more games he gets the more it will help him.
"We also have Rooney and Saha and - I'm not saying he will be back immediately - Alan Smith is back in training. He hasbeen a real surprise to us in how well he has come on. He isn't far away from playing in an actual game now. I think in three weeks he will be back in the lion's den. He is a centre-forward of real guts and determination - a real handful for defenders. He's a different type of option for us. We also have Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes, so we have plenty of attacking options.
"I'm happy with the squad I have got," he added. "We have a good bunch of players. What we need to do is make sure we don't get injuries in the early part of the season. That has definitely blighted us in the last two seasons. If we can do that we have a great chance this year." |
