Boss plans tactics change
Sir Alex Ferguson says he will adapt United's tactics thisseason, identifying a need to readjust the team's approach in order toproduce the goals that the departed Cristiano Ronaldo provided.
“ObviouslyCristiano is a big loss in terms of the goals he gave us,” said thegaffer in the new issue of Inside United (on sale 5 August). “But we’lljust have to find the goals from somewhere else, and our tactics willadjust accordingly. Fans will see us playing a slightly different styleof football this season.”
Rather than ask Wayne Rooney tooperate out wide, Sir Alex intends to play him up top alongside MichaelOwen or Dimitar Berbatov, who the boss sees as being a key player thisterm.
“Last season was a strange one for Dimitar and we maybedidn’t use him in the right way, but we know exactly how to use him now– further up the pitch, playing as a centre forward,” said Sir Alex.“He’s had a first season to settle in, he can get us more than 20goals.”
Whatever the formation United adopt for any given match, according to Ryan Giggs the players have the versatility to adapt.
“Theteam has adapted well to whatever system we've played, whether it’s4-4-2 or three in midfield," he says. “We’ve got that flexibility inthe squad. With Antonio Valencia coming in, it might be a bit more of arigid 4-4-2 system, but we’ll have to see.”
The gaffer hasemphasised the need for United to collectively step up to thegoalscoring plate this season as well. The boss has set some demandingteam and individual goal targets, challenging his men to reach themagic three figures.
“Usually you look to score about 100 goals in allcompetitions, so we’re aiming for that again,” Sir Alex said. “If we’regoing to win the league again or do well in Europe we certainly needplayers to step up and help fill [the gap left by Ronaldo].
"Wayne’s capable of scoring 18 or more, and if Michael plays 25 games for me next season, I think he’ll get 15 goals.”
Beyond the three main strikers, Sir Alex demands an increased yield from the midfield, plus a contribution from the youngsters.
“Goingback a few years, we could always guarantee goals from Paul Scholes,Ryan Giggs and David Beckham, who always pitched in with about 10 aseason. Those goals from midfield have dried up a little in recentyears, so we have to address that,” he said.
“I’ll be looking toPark, Nani, Valencia – even Welbeck and Macheda – to contribute 40goals between them. The defenders will contribute a few from set-piecestoo.”
