Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson remains committed to bringing in a new striker.
Ferguson is stepping up his efforts to improve his attacking options before the close of the transfer window.
Tottenham Hotspur ace Dimitar Berbatov has been strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford, but Ferguson has other options to consider.
Reflecting on the success of his 1999 Treble-winning team, Ferguson admits he is keen to have four experienced front men at his disposal.
Admirable strength
"We are working on bringing in another top striker," Ferguson told United Review.
"Having added strength up front is a situation I really enjoy.
"Ideally I like to operate with four experienced strikers, as we did when we won the Treble, when we had Andy Cole, Dwight Yorke, Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
"It was an admirable strength to have when it came to the end of the season and we were competing on three fronts with key games coming at us thick and fast."
But, even if Ferguson is unable to increase the numbers in his squad, he is confident his United team will continue to progress this season.
He added: "If our plans do not come to fruition it is hardly the end of the road.
"We certainly will not be going backwards with the players we already have and in my view we are the boys the others will have to beat."
