Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed he intends to buy a forward this summer.

Many feel United's squad is almost flawless - although they do appear to be a striker short with Louis Saha's future looking uncertain.

Ferguson can already boast the likes of Carlos Tevez and Wayne Rooney - but then there is little else in terms of an out-and-out striker with Cristiano Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs the next best options.

Now Ferguson is scouring the world and assessing his options before making a move.

Michael Owen is the latest name to be linked, whilst Dimitar Berbatov, Klaas- Jan Huntelaar and Luis Fabiano are also said to be under consideration.

"We will buy," Ferguson confirmed.

"Along with Carlos Tevez and Wayne Rooney, we may need experience in one forward position, somebody to take over from Ryan Giggs eventually."
