The pair have hit 10 between them so far this season and Rooney is top of the scoring charts with eight so far. Fergie is so pleased with the way that Rooney has performed so far this term that it prompted him to compare the United star with the great Pele.
And the United boss is looking forward to seeing what Rooney and Henandez can really do together.
"Two years ago Wayne's target was to go over 30 and he reached it very quickly," Ferguson said.
"If he gets to that target again I will be absolutely delighted because with Javier's ability to score we could have two goalscorers well above 25."
Rooney has often been hailed as "the white Pele" by fans in the Stretford End and Ferguson made his own comparison.
"Look at Pele," Ferguson added. "He was a very aggressive attacker as well who could look after himself. So can Rooney. There are similarities that way in strength, speed and determination.
"But he is white, completely white."
In fact, Ferguson thinks of Rooney as the very best of British, boasting the same desire, work ethic and talent as United legends of old.
"Wayne is a typical British player," Ferguson added. "But there have been British players who have great qualities that made them great players - (Paul) Gascoigne, George Best, Bobby Charlton and Denis Law.
"The similarities are that the boy has great courage. He wants to play all the time. He has incredible stamina. These are added extras to the talent he has."
