he was the best striker i've seen play for united and is one of the best pure strikers of all time.

the team's success was a combination of the quality around him and his ability to finish the chances created for him with amazing consistency. there was no changing of philosophy to suit him; we had lot of wing play with becks and giggs out wide and a young scholes making the play and getting forward.

he was a top class striker and a perfect fit for the team. his intelligent movement and strength meant that he was always an option for those with the ball.
