Moura

Former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke believes Sir Alex Ferguson will be hard at work this summer as he attempts to wrest the title back from arch-rivals City.

The treble-winning Trinidadian claims the potential arrival of Sao Paulo starlet Lucas Moura will bolster an already-strong Red Devils squad and foresees another thrilling tussle for the Premier League title.

The 19-year-old is coveted by a host of Europe's top clubs, but Ferguson is thought to be leading the chase for the Brazil midfielder's signature.

Yorke told Sky Sports News: "I think when you look at United's squad, they're pretty strong in most departments except that one player that seems to excite people in creating goals.

"Paul Scholes has obviously done that over the years but because of his age, he's not been able to play on a regular basis so he has to select the games that he can play.

"You need a bit of youthfulness and creativity to open the gaps for the likes of Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck and these are the type of players that Sir Alex Ferguson will want to bring to Old Trafford."
Rivals

Yorke also pointed to the challenge of Chelsea, who enjoyed a stunning second half of the season under new manager Roberto di Matteo.

The Blues clinched the FA Cup before a momentous night at the Allianz Arena saw them lift the Champions League trophy by beating Bayern Munich in a dramatic penalty shoot-out.

And Yorke believes the west London club will be genuine challengers for the Premier League title in the upcoming season as they look to break the recent Mancunian monoloply.

Yorke said: "With City being the champions and Chelsea doing fantastically well to win the Champions League and the FA Cup, I think it will just be one of those seasons where you can't really predict what's going to happen - but it will certainly be exciting.

"It will give City confidence and give the club a stronger business profile to attract the best players in the world. The city is buzzing. It's the place where everybody wants to play their football now. It used to be London.

"It's just that fantastic way that football rotates in. Now it's the city of Manchester. United had it in their hands and it was grasped away from them by City in the final few games.

"United will make sure they come back fitter and stronger next season. They'll make sure they don't make the kind of mistakes they made last season because it's not too often you can say they've made mistakes."
