United's Foursome Are Awesome, Says Ince


Blackburn Rovers manager Paul Ince believes that Manchester United's attacking quadrant of Wayne Rooney; Carlos Tevez; Cristiano Ronaldo; and Dimitar Berbatov is awesome.


Sir Alex Ferguson has assembled a mouth-watering strike force consisting of an Englishman; a Portuguese; an Argentinian; and a Bulgarian worth a total of £70million. Should Ferguson extend Tevez's stay permanently, then that figure would rise to £95million.

It it an attacking quadrant that would be the envy of many a sane manager, none more so than former United player and current Blackburn Rovers boss Paul Ince - whose side lost to the Red Devils 2-0 at the weekend.

When pressed about how he prepares his side to defend against such potent talent, he replied: "It’s scary, isn’t it? You can spend all week, as I have done, discussing tactics and personnel."

"I probably thought about playing 20,000 different teams. But when a team is that good, sometimes you can’t do anything about it," he is quoted by Manutd.com as saying.

"We tried hard and went in there with a lot of confidence. But they are so good. They’re a fantastic team, they always play with pace and wingers and they’re a joy to watch at times."

"Even so, I was proud of my lads. We’ll learn from this game... When United play like that they’re awesome. People were saying they weren’t playing well — but they have so much quality."

"When you can bring on Tevez from the bench, who would probably cost more than our entire first 11, that just shows what you are up against," the rookie Premier League manager concluded.
