Dimitar Berbatov is easily the third striker on the squad even though Owen always seems to deliver some very good goals too. When you also consider the 3 young strickers Man U has in Macheda, Welbeck and Diouf, you will agree the team has great talents up front. No one can forget in a hurry, the winner Macheda produced against Arston Villa at only 17.
