The Manchester United boss reiterated that his team are most potent up-front and that they also possessed a midfield engine to rival most clubs on the continent.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson and his latest spending spree in the summer has transformed the Red Devils into a well-bred, attacking machine, that can challenge for silverware on all fronts.
While their defence has been below-par this term, the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 has been a sight to behold.
The duo have looked at ease while dominating other teams and as demonstrated by the weekend win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429, they can win the Premier League if their excellent form continues at this rate.
Alongside Rooney and Van Persie, United also have a number of other options for the front pairing, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-Welbeck-c10233 and Javier Hernandez have grown prominent in the last two years and established themselves in their own right.
Clearly the much-wanted headache of naming his line-up on a weekly basis has delighted the former Aberdeen boss, who was quick to pile praise on his strikers while talking to reporters today.
“The area I’m most pleased about is the attacking part of my team. There’s goals there. Obviously we’ve got some work to do on the defending. But the encouraging thing is that, bit by bit, we’re collecting outstanding young midfield players. It’s an important
game in terms of if we win, we’re through to the next stage.”
He also added that while his senior players were winding down their careers, youngsters had stepped up to the plate and formed a strong contingent, that is set to last for the next few years.
“People say Scholes is coming to the end, and of course he is, he’s 38 this month and Giggs is 39. But players like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anderson-c5565, Fletcher, Cleverley, Powell and Kagawa have proven that we’ve gathered a pretty strong midfield, which encourages me more.”
The Reds travel to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 tonight and if they get three points in the bag, it could mean a berth in the latter stages of the UEFA Champions League much earlier than expected.
