RVP hails duet with Rooney
Date published: 23 October 2012
ROBIN van Persie’s partnership with Wayne Rooney at Manchester United is turning into the perfect combination.
The pair didn’tstart in the same team until the Champions League trip to Cluj.
But something was going right from the start: United won both games — and they have continued in the asme vein since.
Rooney and Van Persie both found the net. Danny Welbeck also scored for the Reds in a 4-2 victory over Stoke.
The pair were also responsible for three of the four assists.
“We are definitely getting more of an understanding,” Van Persie said.
The ability of both players to operate as the spearhead of United’s attack or drop deep offers a puzzle difficult for any team to solve.
With Tuesday’s tricky Champions League encounter with Braga being followed by two games at Chelsea, one against Arsenal before the European return with the progressive Portuguese outfit, United will be looking for some solidity.
