Liverpool legend Carragher questions age of Man Utd attack

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has questioned the age range of Manchester United's attack. Carragher wrote in the Daily Mail: "If you were naming a dream team, many of you - for good reason - would have your three forwards as Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and Radamel Falcao. They have been magnificent players, their quality undisputed around the world. Those three should guarantee bundles of goals.

"But here's the thing. Van Persie recently turned 31, Rooney was 29 on Friday - the same age Falcao will be when he celebrates his next birthday. The concern for clubs when strikers get into that age range is whether they will maintain their standards and consistency, never mind get better."
