Ferguson:

“We bought Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at 24 and he has developed
fantastically well. I'm confident Diego will do the same.
What has helped him is having the chance to play regularly.
He is improving all the time and that is five goals now this
season, which is a good return from the games he has played.

"Whenever you buy a young player, you know you are not
getting the finished article. What you have is potential.
When we signed Diego we had just lost Dwight Yorke, Andy
Cole and Teddy Sheringham and we were looking for a young
striker. He has established himself now. Sometimes,
tactically we prefer to play one man behind a central
striker but the form he has shown recently, it is difficult
to leave him out.”
