Ryan Giggs says the signing of Carlos Tevez gives Manchester United great depth in attack.
Welshman hails arrival of Tevez
Ryan Giggs believes Carlos Tevez's arrival gives Manchester United enough attacking options to compete on all fronts this season.
With Tevez joining Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani, Louis Saha, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Giggs himself in an array of attacking talent, the Welshman feels United are strong enough to overcome any fitness problems.
"The different options we have up front are great," he said.
"It is going to be a tough season with the Champions League and Premier League to go for.
"But, if everyone is fit, the manager now has the luxury of keeping his options open. It means he will be able to keep everyone fresh and ensure everyone is on their toes.
Addition
"Carlos has looked good in training. He is a quality player and a great addition to the squad."
Ferguson is expected to resist the temptation to draft Tevez into his starting line-up to face Reading on Sunday, preferring instead to keep the 23-year-old back for next weekend's Manchester derby at Eastlands.
United have a midweek trip to Portsmouth in between, part of a packed start to the season which Ferguson feels United must cash in on if they are to retain their championship crown.
"A good start is imperative," said Ferguson.
"If you are setting yourself a target of 90 points to win the league, which is what it has been over the last few seasons, you have to get off to a good start and then be consistent throughout the season."
