After their 8-2 victory in China yesterday, Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson said he was happy to mix and match his strikers.

"We are not in bad shape," said Ferguson.

"It was our intention to use different pairings with the strikers and we have some strong options.

"Federico Macheda has shown good development for a 17-year-old boy, we also have the experience of Berbatov and Owen and we all know the expectation surrounding Wayne Rooney."

On the win over Greetown Hangzhou, Ferguson added: "I know it might not be judged properly because people may think the opposition was weaker but some of our follow-up play and penetration was first-class tonight.

"For that reason I am delighted.

"The speed of the play at times in the first half in particular was really really good and an indication that we are starting to come to our pitch in terms of fitness, timing and the tempo of the game."
