Man Utd Have The Greatest Attack - Rossi

Former Juventus star and 1982 World Cup winner Paolo Rossi believes that English and European Champions Manchester United have the greatest attacking line-up in the World.



Rossi led La Nazionale to glory in Spain 26 years ago and he believes the arrival of Dimitar Berbatov will be the icing on the cake for the Red Devils.

The Old Trafford side paid Tottenham Hotspur over £30m for the Bulgarian's services as they attempt to go one better than last term and win the treble.

“The Red Devils are ahead of everyone in terms of their attacking line up,” Rossi told La Gazzetta Dello Sport.

“I think Inter are second and Mario Balotelli drives me crazy. Barcelona are the third strongest team in terms of the players they have up front.”

United, Inter and Barcelona all look lethal up front and the trio will be gunning for glory in the Champions League.

The Red Devils were after Berba all summer and it seemed like he wasn't going to join them as Spurs played hardball, but the White Hart Lane based club quickly changed their tune when they caught a whiff of the money.

Rossi’s failure to mention his old side Juve appears to suggest that he is not impressed with the Bianconeri’s attacking line-up, even though they spent over €24m on Amauri.

The Top Ten Attacking Line-ups In Europe?

Do you agree with Rossi that...

1. Man Utd
2. Inter Milan
3. Barcelona

?

Who in your opinion make up the rest of the top 10?

4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

Barça's attack is $h!t...

If Barca attack is in the top 3 then is says something about what direction football is going these days.

I would say Milan attack is the best in Europe if Dinho gets back to even half of his old form and kaka returns to full fitbess.

1) Milan
2) Man Utd
3) Roma
4) Inter
5) Bayern
6) Chelsea
7) Barca
Viola
9) Scum
10) ?

How about Juventus? Del Piero, Trezeguet, Amauri & Iaquinta

Call me bias or whatever but I think Arsenal deserve a place in there although I'm not too familiar with Viola's frontline.

Ajax pisses on Bayern's attack to begin with, they're at least top5

I'd place Real a bit higher than ninth too...

What does the Ajax attacking Line look like, the only names that i can think of are Huntelaar and Suarez.


Its it really better than this

Ribery,Toni,Klose,Schweinsteiger.


The Scums should have even made the top ten.

Adebayor, RVP... err, who else? Eduardo? not so sure the fact half your strike force spends months on end laying on a treatment table makes it pretty ineffective.

Oh I thought it was the way your team played as an attacking unit. My bad

Suarez, Huntelaar, Sulejmani & Aissati

Bayern's attack looks great....on paper

I don't think Toni, Klose & Ribery would like to be reminded of the EC

I don't like the lad, but Podolski certainly deserves a mention in Bayern's attack.


....and still I think that for shear attacking power Ajax *easily* beats them.

Ruud, VDV, Robben & Sneijder....


Did you even watch the EC ?!

Could someone tell me how Mourinho's team attack? Feeble, and at most, dormant. No way do they deserve a higher mention. It depends on how you qualify an attack. Roma in Serie A, Werder bremen in bundesliga, Arsenal in PL, Ajax in Eredivise may not have flashy names, but their combination makes it greater than pack of individuals. Even Villareal for that matter works as a unit. Farca hardly in that list...

Depends on what you are looking at... if you look at the players he has at his disposal for his 3 attacking positions, then it is quite formidable:

Ibrahimovic, Adriano, Crespo, Balotelli, Quaresma, Figo, Mancini, Cruz

However, how effective he is in making them gel as a great attacking unit remains to be seen.

I agree with the first 2 - Milan and ManU have the best attacks.

What about lyon?

Sure, Benzema is there. His combination with Govou, and Fred is superb. And, Pjanic/Juninho to support. That's a great attack, underrated, and underrepresented here!

I'm not interested in individuals, if so, Farca would be higher up the list. Chelsea is the other with drogba, lampard, deco (admitted that he plays a deeper role than lampard, but he is involved just as much in attack), and Joe Cole. But in their own league, they are overshadowed as attacking unit by Arsenal, Spurs, Villa, and Middlesbrough in attack.

" in terms of the players they have up front"

That's really flawed, to say the least.

1- AC Milan
2- Manchester City
3- DC Milan
4- Ajax
5- Manchester United

What have AC Milans strikeforce down in the last 2 years to warrant being labelled the best in the world. Past it

Their starting 3 attacking players are 28, 26, & 19 years old... two of them are former WPOTYs, and the third is one of the most talented teenagers on the planet - thats hardly "past it"!

yeah what have they down?

Kaka - 26
Pato - 19
Borriello - 26
Roanldinho - 28

only an Arsenal fan could think these players were past it

How often will Kaka, Pato and Borriello start together ?

I expect we'll see Kaka, Ronaldinho and Pato most often. 26, 28 and 19.

do you want to admit you're wrong?

Dinho is 28, and still better than any player at Arsenal.... did you even see him against Bologna?

I wish Inter had bought him instead of Mancini and Quaresma. I have a feeling Dinho will outshine Kaka and Pato this season...

Hate such articles. They have proved nothing as an attacking lineup, so why the hell are they are the greatest in the world.

Since your attack consists of Rosicky (injured), Eduardo (injured), Nasri (new), Van Rapist (injured), Adebayor (doesn't get on with), Bendtner, Wallchart (not very good), let's talk about the way your team plays as an attacking unit.

The fact that he puts Barcelona in there proves he hasnt seen them in a while or perhaps he forgot they no longer have Ronaldinho.
judging an attacking line shouldnt just be about names but also if it actually clicks. i think when Kaka returns Milan will have the best attack in the world allthough it does depend on whether or not Kaka and Ronaldinho can play together.

United are really proving how great their attack is without Ronaldo aren't they Batman

Your football is still horrible to watch, but berbatov has the potential to change this
