This season has been the biggest improvement for a United side since the Premiership began. The reds have raised the bar, and are still fighting on all three fronts. But what does the future hold? Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Ole Solsjaer and Edwin Van Der Sarr are in their mid-thirty’s, and despite this years amazing success, will need to be replaced in the near future.
Ben Foster has proved this season that he is a capable number one with Watford, and has earned the right to contest the United shirt with Thomas Kuzack, who has not yet had a real run in the first team.
Frank Ribery has been linked with since 2004 but has now stated that he wants to leave France in search of Champions League football. In my eyes this should alert Sir Alex as he proved at the World Cup how affective he can be. The pace down the flanks would make us also most impossible to defend against, and Ribery would be the ideal replacement for Giggs.
Owen Hargreaves is almost certain to sign for the Red Army in the summer, and will bolster a strong central midfield with Scholes and Carrick.
The main problem area for Ferguson is signing a top-class striker to play with Rooney. Although the goals have been flying in this season, no player is yet to reach 20 league goals. Berbatov would be an excellent addition to the attack. He has proved this year that he can score goals at the highest level with Spurs, and has scored goals in Europe before.
Jan Huntealar has been described as the next ‘Rudd’, and has replaced the Stretford End legend in the Dutch national side, however is yet to prove he score goals consistently.
Ex-Chelsea forward Eidur Gudjohnsen is available and would be a useful addition to the squad, but he plays to similar to Rooney.
The main target for the Reds must be Fernando Torres. The Athletico Madrid striker would link perfectly with Rooney, and has proven at international level that he can do the business in Europe. The striker has replaced Raul in the Spanish side, and will guarantee Fergie 20 goals a season.

Torres would suit our style of play so much. Imagine him rooney, ronaldo and Ribery in the same team. Chungggg
Still wished we had VanNistlerooy.
Ben Foster would be awesome for us. Hes confident for a young keeper and i just dont trust Van Der Saar any more. Hes flopped too many times this year
