Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs and soon Carlos Tevez - a foursome that will be enough to thrill spectators and strike fear into the hearts of defenders throughout the Premiership next season.Ronaldo, Rooney and Giggs are all brilliant at running at defenders and in Tevez they will find they have a kindred spirit and that augurs well for Manchester United both on the home and European fronts.
That quartet's dribbling ability could well prove to be one of the main talking points of the season. Sir Alex Ferguson and his No 2, Carlos Queiroz, place tremendous value on that skill, particularly the Portuguese coach, and will be encouraging Tevez to pick possession and frighten the life out of their opponents.
After initially struggling with his surroundings last season at West Ham, we eventually saw the best of Tevez towards the end of the campaign and the priceless goal he scored at Old Trafford to keep his club up clearly left a lasting impression on Sir Alex.
It was a trademark goal that encapsulated everything that is good about Tevez's game. He was determined, brave, showed excellent close control as well as coolness in front of goal as Edwin van der Sar loomed large.
I would imagine that Tevez will be asked to spearhead the United attack in the same way that Henrik Larsson did so successfully while on loan last season.
That will suit Rooney down to the ground because I think that he prefers to play in a more withdrawn role - some 15 yards or so deeper than his fellow striker, an intelligent operator whose runs will create space for his colleague to exploit.
However, their positions won't be fixed ones. Rooney and Tevez will be given licence to swap roles when they're failing to make in-roads - in a similar way to Giggs and Ronaldo swapping wings. That fluidity is part of United's modus operandi.
That's why I don't think that Sir Alex will have a formation set in stone although I would imagine he'd go for a 4-2-4 formation in the Premiership but opt for a 4-3-3 system in the Champions League, with Tevez possibly being demoted to the substitutes' bench.
AC Milan played with a similar formation when they eliminated United last season on their way to winning the competition. It was a recipe for success that Ferguson would not be too proud to copy. He will feel that if he is to give freedom of movement to his front three in Europe then he will need three in midfield to ensure a sensible balance.
Another signing, Owen Hargreaves, will offer extra protection to a United defence that at times appears vulnerable and I would imagine him playing alongside Michael Carrick on domestic duty.
Should Sir Alex go 4-3-3, I would see Paul Scholes, who was invigorated last season, completing the midfield trio, although he might struggle to play week-in, week-out in the Premiership.
Without Scholes, I have been wondering where the attacking thrust from central midfield will come.
The Brazilian midfielder, Anderson, will be groomed to succeed Scholes in that respect while the Portuguese winger, Nani, will be eased into the frame over the coming season to bolster the club's attacking options.
Nani is yet another exquisite exponent of the noble art of dribbling. I bet that one day he will have the Old Trafford season-tickets holders drooling. But for the time being, it will be Tevez and his new colleagues who lead opponents a merry dance.
