The veteran tactician claims that United now have a line up that lives up to their illustrious history.
Following their failure to win the Premier League, Manchester United have been strengthening considerably. Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shinji-Kagawa-c33364, while other targets such
as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 could also be coming to Old Trafford before the summer is out.
The Brazilian prodigy has become one of the hottest commodities in world football and after shining for Sao http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paulo-c29431 is eager to make a switch across continents in hopes of lighting up Europe.
Van Persie was the top scorer in the English top flight last time out but has become disillusioned with life at the Emirates, where he hasn’t lifted a trophy since the F.A Cup seven years ago.
When United had such a fearsome line-up last time, they were able to conquer the UEFA Champions League with ease. And Ferguson has now reiterated that his team can go far in the competition after signing a couple of new faces.
“I always consider 1998-99 as the gold standard of Manchester United strikers. We had Cole, Yorke, Sheringham and Solskjaer, and when we needed a goal one them would deliver. It happened so many times I was always confident of that whoever I was sending
on could grab us a goal. The options I’m now starting see in this squad remind me of that era. I hope we see a lot of goals.”
“He certainly offers us different attacking options. His best position, without doubt, is just off the centre forward. He has good vision and can thread a pass. Shinji’s versatile and there’s no doubt he gives me more to think about,” he said.
United are currently preparing for friendly fixtures in around Europe in preparation for the season which starts on the 18th of August. The Reds are away to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 but will have an almost 10 day break before the resumption of the UEFA Champions
League, which is club football’s premier tournament.
