- Mario Balotelli move non-starter for 38-year-old...

Manchester United legend Andrew Cole has insisted the club do not need to buy Mario Balotelli as the club's current strikers are good enough to win back the Premier League.
United finished runners up last term and were outscored by champions Chelsea, leading to calls for a new centre forward to be added to the squad. Inter youngster Balotelli and Real Madrid's Karim Benzema have been linked with moves, but Cole believes there is no need to splash the cash.
Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, the 38-year-old backed the current players to fire in the goals.
“[Javier] Hernandez looked sharp at the World Cup for Mexico. He has a good eye for goal,” Cole said.
“The two young lads [Federico] Macheda and [Danny] Welbeck didn’t get much time last year and so they will be hungry this season.
“And as for Michael Owen, if he stays fit then he can come in with a fair few goals. He scored nine last season yet only started 11 matches. Even used sparingly if Michael is 100 per cent then you would expect him to score around 10-15 in a campaign. If by some chance he plays most matches then he is still a 20-goals a season player.
“I take my hat off to Chelsea for the number of goals they scored last season. It was fantastic but it is not often anyone outscores Manchester United and I think we can score enough this season to win back the title.” SauceI agree with him. The squad's good everywhere. We just need a creative mid who can score a few goals. |
