With supreme striking sensations in the Manchester United squad such as Wayne Rooney, Carlos Tevez, and the formidable force of Cristiano Ronaldo; to ponder the question of whether Manchester United are considering new strikers is really a rather ridiculous notion. As well as these three there is of course also the excellent Louis Saha. Saha is not exactly the most consistent of performers, but on his day he can be just as lethal as any other of his Manchester United team mates.

Dimitar Berbatov of Tottenham Hotspur would no doubt be excellent in a Manchester United shirt, really though the reds do not need any other strikers and are perfectly fine with the players that they have got.

Manchester United have just the right amount of forward players, and given that they can score goals with players from all over the pitch they certainly don't need another striker in the squad.

When a football team is playing that well and scoring so many goals then never are they in the market for further forward players. If more strikers are brought into a club when they are already playing excellently then this can disturb the players that are already there and their performances can drop, something that Alex Ferguson would clearly not wish to do given the beauteous nature with which the many talents of Manchester Untied play their football at current.

Manchester United's manager Alex Ferguson believes that the current squad of players is the strongest there has ever been since he has been at the club. Given that
