Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson believes he has an attacking line-up to rival that of his Treble-winning squad of 1999.
Ferguson has Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck and Javier Hernandez to call on and is looking to add Arsenal ace Robin van Persie.
“I always consider 1998-99 as the gold standard of Manchester United strikers,” said Ferguson. “We had Cole, Yorke, Sheringham, and Solskjaer, and when we needed a goal one of them would deliver.
“It happened so many times. I was always confident that whoever I was sending on could grab us a goal. The options I’m now starting to see in this squad remind me of that era. I hope we see a lot of goals.
“The hardest thing for me will be to pick the right pairing for the right games. And of course one or two may develop particularly good understandings with another. It’s going to be interesting.”
