"We don't need another striker. Ruud and I can give United fans something they haven't had since Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole.
"Next season, once we get used to playing alongside each other, the goals will flow.
"We can form a great partnership and be as good as any other pair.
"Ruud's fantastic and I know we'll work well together.
"We also have Alan Smith, who is a different kind of striker, but it shows the options we've got in attack."
