Striking Dilemma No Worry For Fergie

Sir Alex Ferguson has insisted he can handle the striking dilemma that is causing the Manchester United a manager fierce headache.

Once again against Hull on Saturday, Ferguson must decide whether to leave out in-form Wayne Rooney, record signing Dimitar Berbatov or last season's inspiration Carlos Tevez.

Although Rooney was the odd man out on Wednesday when United overcame West Ham, Tevez has largely been the one left among the substitutes.

The situation has led some to question whether the 24-year-old will sign a permanent contract with the Old Trafford outfit as expected when his present loan deal expires at the end of the season.

Ferguson admitted the situation is more delicate than the one he tackled in 1999, when Andy Cole, Dwight Yorke, Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer were vying for a place in the Scot's team.

However, he does not feel a solution is beyond his experienced grasp.

"It is much more delicate handling the striking situation now," said Ferguson.

"In those days there was that northern European culture that was easier to manage. There was a British mentality and there was no problem dealing with it.

"None of them were happy when they didn't play but they understood and it wasn't an issue.

"I sat Wayne down the other day and told him I had to find out how Dimitar and Carlos played together. He understood that. But I don't think he would be too impressed if I left him out of two or three games.

"However, I don't think it is unmanageable."

Ferguson revealed during the week that he had a similar chat with Tevez, aimed at reassuring the former Boca Juniors man he remains an integral part of his plans.

The message seemed to get home, with Ferguson also hinting he may give the axis of Tevez and Berbatov another try when United entertain Hull tomorrow.

"On Wednesday I wanted to see how the combination of Berbatov and Tevez was together. But Carlos was so wound up to do well himself that they became two different parts.

"I think they will be far better tomorrow - if I pick them."

Tevez's maraudings could have been one of the reasons United's performance dropped off after the break, although Ferguson is not about to castigate the South American.

"Carlos was so keen to do well but he used up too much energy," reflected the Red Devils chief.

"But it is not a bad thing to try too hard."

Ferguson wanted to speak with Tevez on Friday - but only about Maradona.

The Argentina FA have sprang a major surprise by naming the legendary forward as their new coach.

There has been some speculation that Maradona will be at Old Trafford to see Tevez in action, although neither the player, nor the United department that organises tickets for such dignitaries, have been informed of his impending arrival.

"There has been no application for a ticket from the Argentina FA so far," revealed Ferguson.

"But listening to Carlos, all the players are delighted so it could work.

"He will be an inspirational figure to the team. He has also brought in Carlos Bilardo, who was the coach of the team he won the World Cup with in 1986.

"There is a combination there. The calming influence and experience of Bilardo will be good for Maradona."

But the mere mention of Maradona's name was enough to spark a row at United's Carrington training complex as a dressing room divided over whether the Argentina superstar could be rated above Pele as the best player of all time.

"As soon as we spoke about Maradona, a great debate started in the dressing room about who was the best player in the world.

"It was a good discussion and got a few people fired up."

And who won?

"They are still fighting."
