Bettor.com analyzes the plethora of forwards which have given Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson food for thought after some impressive displays this term.
During his 26 odd years in-charge of Manchester United, Ferguson has been privileged to manage some of world football’s greatest heroes.
From the charismatic Eric Cantona, the goal-scoring genius of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and wing wizardry of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629, the veteran Scot has assembled and dismantled legendry teams one after another.
However, his current attacking lineup of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-Welbeck-c10233 might perhaps be the strongest squad in terms of attack the former Aberdeen boss has ever put together.
To simply put it, the Red Devils at the moment have it all.
In Van Persie, they possess a lethal front-man, who can score and create goals with ease.
Chicharito is perhaps the world’s best finisher outright and Rooney, well, he is the leader. The Englishman can be seen having a crack at goal one moment and the next will be back in defence making a last-ditch tackle; such is his sheer love and determination
for the game.
And we haven’t even gotten to Welbeck yet.
United are surely lucky to have such a talented attack, but it’s no surprise that like always Sir Alex has managed to build a team ready for European glory and Premiership success.
The Reds become the first and only top UEFA Champions League team to make it to the knock-out rounds with a 3-1 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Braga-c40460, and considering their 100% win record, the tactician will now allow his youngsters some valuable game time in the two remaining
dead rubber ties.
However, now Fergie has some serious decisions to make.
Chicharito scored a possible match winning hat-trick, possible because a deflection might rule out his second goal, against Aston Villa on the weekend and now surely merits a starting berth against Norwich City.
Rooney’s injury may keep him on the sidelines for this one, but with Van Persie and Hernandez hitting top gear at the right moment, United can leave their favourite son at home and still come out with three points comfortably.
Nevertheless, when Rooney returns, Ferguson will need to optimize his line-up so that he can take advantage of his Mexican sensation, while ensuring that his top stars also get to feature on the team sheet.
A simple yet effective three man forward line could be the solution, with Hernandez playing as an out and out goal poacher. Van Persie can play off him, while Rooney should look to start as an attacking midfielder with a license to roam as he pleases.
While Van Persie and Rooney are still uncertain to start, Ferguson claimed that after netting a brilliant treble, Chicha had all but secured his starting role against Norwich.
"He's fresh this season, he's had a good summer break, it's made a difference to him. When he came to us two years ago, that's what we were seeing more of today. And obviously, when you score a hat-trick you pick yourself, and I think he'll be playing next
week,” the Scot was quoted as saying while speaking to the media.
United’s golden trio, if gelled together, could potentially wreck everyone’s chances of lifting the Premier League and comparisons with the legendry class of 1999, would then surely be justified.
