Tevez And Rooney Will Work

Last updated : 26 July 2007 By Ed

Ferguson has said that Wayne Rooney would be able to link up well with Carlos Tevez to form a strong partnership.

"I know people say both players like to drop behind a mean striker but if you look at the FA Cup final against Chelsea, Wayne played up front on his own and was absolutely fantastic," Ferguson said.

"That is where I see his future anyway and that is why I believe he can play in the same side as Carlos Tevez."

The last day of the season cemented Ferguson's interest in Tevez.

"On that final day, Carlos showed against us, as he had done against plenty of others before, that he can be a real threat when he is pushed a bit further forward," said Ferguson.

"He can beat a man, which is a major asset. That is the real advantage of having someone like him on board.

"Of course, Wayne can also drop in and give defenders a problem, so between the two of them I think they can become a real handful."
