Manchester United do not need to buy a new striker, insists manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
At times last season, it appeared Wayne Rooney was operating on his own.
Alan Shearer certainly felt so, as he pointed out on numerous occasions. Yet Ferguson views a group of five that is strong enough to allow him to let Danny Welbeck and Mame Biram Diouf join Sunderland and Blackburn respectively on loan.
"We are pleased with the young strikers we have," said Ferguson.
"Welbeck and Diouf will go on loan, which leaves us with five; Berbatov, Rooney and Owen along with Macheda and Hernandez. That is sufficient."
