Once Eric Cantona had announced his retirement from football manager Alex Ferguson knew immediately that he had to act fast to find a replacement. Ferguson's production-line of talent from the united youth scheme is impressive but there's no substitute for experience and Sheringham, who cost 3.5m Pounds from Spurs, has bag of it. He is widely regarded as one of the country's real thinker on a football field and struck up a formidable England parthership with Alan Shearer. He like to drop deep, lose his marker and has range of passing skills and great awareness that mark him out as a class striker. He get his share of goals, too, both at club and international level and he will also add a threat in the United attack.
