Fergie close to striker swoop
11 Aug 2008 - 08:26:36
Sir Alex Ferguson has not ruled out the possibility of Barcelona striker Thierry Henry moving to Manchester United this week.
The veteran Scot is keen to land a new forward as Wayne Rooney is struggling with a virus and Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to miss the first six weeks of the season.
Louis Saha is also on the sidelines so Carlos Tevez had to play as a lone forward in Sunday's Community Shield win over Portsmouth at Wembley.
However, Ferguson is concerned by his side's lack of a cutting edge, saying: "It's been pressing since the end of last season.
"We like to operate with four strikers and we haven't been able to do that."
Of the speculation linking United with Henry, Ferguson added: "There's a name every day.
"I can't answer the question because I don't have the right answer.
"It's possible I'll sign someone this week. We're trying and we're looking at one or two options. Hopefully we'll get something done."
