"Four World Class Strikers" Excites Queiroz
Manchester United assistant manager Carlos Queiroz has reveal his sheer excitement about having four world class forwards in Van Nistelrooy, Smith, Rooney and Saha.

The Portuguese right-hand man also states United have no envy of his former club Real Madrid despite their array of 'Galacticos' on their books.

Queiroz returned to his position at Old Trafford this season after an unsuccessful spell at the Bernabeu, winning no trophies and failing to qualify for the Champions League group stage but did qualify via qualification rounds, under a new boss.

"We are very excited by his signing as we now have four world class strikers. "With Rooney, van Nistelrooy, Saha and Smith we've no reason to envy Real (Madrid)" he said.

"There is no denying Madrid's strikers are some of the best in the world," 

He added: "Our forwards are different but they are footballers of inspiration and talent who can play at a high level.

"We have built a young and talented team. It is balanced and we have placed the foundations for the next 10 years."
