Ex-Red Andrew Cole says United's strike trio of Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Owen will bag plenty of goals this season.
Speaking at MUTV's Wednesday Night at the Red Cafe programme, Cole, now a regular visitor to Old Trafford as a fan, said: "Rooney has started the season really well. He's ready to step into Ronaldo's shoes. His attitude is 'I'm top, and I'm going to prove it'. He's the man to get 25-30 goals this season."
Cole is well placed to judge the abilities of United's front men, having scored 121 goals in 275 appearances for United. And it's not just Rooney he's impressed with. "It's not easy coming to United in your first season," he adds. "The spotlight is on you straight away and everyone expected Berbatov to get 30 goals last year.
"I don't think he's that type of player, but he brings something different to the team. He's so elegant. Then there's Michael Owen. There aren't many natural finishers around. Sir Alex told me that if he keeps Owen fit he'll get goals."
