i would rather sir alex bought a midfielder aggressor who knows how to make good passing and occasionally could score a few goals himself , ie; around 15 goals a season . anderson and carrick and fletcher are not in that category however much i love them and scholes and giggs just didn't have the legs anymore .i just wanna be realistic.

as for the strikeforce , i would prefer we give opportunity to youngsters like welbeck and kiko who looks promising . besides , we still have rooney and berba and  with ronaldo and tevez gone , i'm  sure these players will buck-up and score more often than last season giving the goal scoring opportunity created by man utd team.

again, it all depend on sir alex and how much more time he wants to give the team or squad . does he have enough faith in the youngsters and the 2 or 3 oldies or he wants to get a highly reputable big name player that will cost a bom.

as time is not on his side like the decade before , my bet is he will go a for a big name player and a forward too

better SAF buy someone to replace ferdinand..
