Sir Alex Speaks

"Obviously Cristiano is a big loss in terms of the goals he gave us, but we will just have to find the goals from somewhere else.

Usually you look to score about 100 goals in all competitions, so we are aiming for that again. If we are going to win the league again or do well in Europe we certainly need players to step up. Going back a few years, we could always be guaranted goals from Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and David Beckham, who always pitched in.

I will be looking to Carrick, Park, Nani, Valencia - even Danny Welbeck and Federico Macheda - to contribute 40 goals between them."

So... no pressure then.
