The veteran midfielder claims that the influx of new talent has further strengthened the Red Devils and they should challenge for trophies this season with a number of quality players at their disposal.
Manchester United, known for their relative frugality in the transfer market, chose to spend heavily this summer after signing the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexander-Büttner-c4818 and Angelo Henriquez.
Bolstered by the arrival of new talents, the Reds have become a force to be reckoned with, although their form in the Premier League has been far from satisfactory.
Fergie’s troops were ousted by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 on opening day, while Fulham also gave them a run for their money at the Theatre of Dreams. Southampton were well on course to securing a win against the English giants, only to see an astonishing hat-trick from Van
Persie stop them in their tracks.
With great attacking verve going forward and a robust midfield, it’s no wonder that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394 is impressed with how things have been going in Manchester recently.
The long-serving midfielder made a surprise comeback in January, but then saw arch-rivals City pick up the Premiership trophy after beating QPR on the very last day.
Scholes, though, now believes that his team can challenge for top honours, especially considering that fire power they have at their disposal.
“You always like to see new players come in even if they’re in your position because it’s healthy for the team and exciting to play with the new players. We’ve got strength everywhere in the squad. We’ve struggled with injuries to defenders, but when we
have everyone fit I think there are two teams that the manager has available to him and that could compete in the Premier League and cup competitions.”
The play-maker also had some choice words for Japanese sensation Shinji Kagawa, who has made quite an impression since arriving at the helm from Borussia Dortmund this summer.
"All the new signings have settled in well. Shinji [Kagawa] has been with us since the start of pre-season so he’s had a good amount of time to settle in.”
