Scholes : United Don't Need More Strikers

Paul Scholes does not believe that Sir Alex Ferguson needs to buy a new striker.

The United legend believes the quality is there to match the famed Andy Cole, Dwight Yorke, Ole Solskjaer and Teddy Sheringham quartet of 1999.

Scholes told the Manchester Evening News : “In the Treble year we had four top class forwards and it worked brilliantly,”.

“But I think four is enough. We are looking good up front with the lads we have now. But I think seven strikers is too many to operate with. I think four is the perfect number for centre forwards.

“We often play one up-front in Europe so four is more than enough.”
