Man Utd boss Solskjaer delighted with attacking options: They're here for many years

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is delighted with the attacking power he has.

Solskjaer sees some similarities between '99 Treble winners when Sir Alex Ferguson was also able to choose from Dwight Yorke, Andy Cole and Teddy Sheringham, and United's current strike-force of Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Edinson Cavani and Mason Greenwood.

"I used to play in a decent team and the gaffer had at least four centre-forwards to choose from," he said. "I think with the four front men we've got players there to choose from who can get us goals from any game against any opposition.

"I'm very pleased with the ones I've got and we're working hard to get the relationships with all of them, that we can use them all in different ways. Sometimes maybe all four of them will play.

"You've got talents like Marcus, Mason and Anthony, and the experience of Edinson. It's great to see them every day in training and in the games they complement each other. They've all got different attributes.

"This season Marcus has scored about 14 or 15. Anthony, Mason and Edi will definitely chip in and score goals. Last season Mason, Marcus and Anthony scored I don't know how many – 60ish?

"We've got those three for many, many years anyway and Edi can help with his experience for the time that he's here."
