Out of the 3 I reckon Benzema is Fergie's preferred choice due to his ability to play in each position of a forward 3, however, I doubt he will bring in any of them this summer and will stick with Tevez, Rooney, Manucho and Ronaldo being the striking options from next season.
I think its highly unlikely SAF will have 4 dedicated strikers at his disposal, instead having players that are versatile who can play in a multitude of positions.
You just need to look at the Chelsea game to see that. Had we had 4 dedicated striker for that game 2 would have been on the bench and 1 probably in the stands. I think the days of 99 are gone when we could rely on that that type of striking quartet, plus in that quartet Sheringham was in the twilight year of his career and was probably happy just too be involved with such a big club and Solskjaer who never had the experience of playing for a big club before.
But now we are all talking about having 4 strikers under the age of 25, who are all world class and are all willing too spend their time on the bench or in the stands. Just look at Spurs 's example this season, they probably had the best quartet in the league this year but could not satisfy them for more then 6 months before one left.
