Trio Earn Praise

Sir Alex Ferguson picked out his front players for special acclaim after watching his free-scoring Manchester United side confirm their place in the Champions League knockout rounds.

A 4-0 victory over Dynamo Kiev means United have scored 22 goals in their past six games and Ferguson, making no attempt to conceal his excitement about the attacking triumvirate of Wayne Rooney, Carlos Tevez and Cristiano Ronaldo, believes his team are capable of going all the way in this season's competition.

The great thing about this team is that they are always capable of creating chances, either through individual ability or good combination play," he said.

"There is never a moment in any game when you feel that we have reached a dead end in terms of imagination and creativity. We have so many players capable of a moment of brilliance. It doesn't matter whether the opposition is playing three at the back or 20 at the back."
