Duo can fire Reds to glory, says Denis

MANCHESTER United goalscoring king Denis Law believes Robin van Persie’s strike partnership with Wayne Rooney will fire his old club to glory this season.

Though Rooney will miss Sunday’s clash with Liverpool due to an injured knee, Law has been impressed at the way he combined with Van Persie following the Dutchman’s arrival from Arsenal.

Prior to Rooney’s injury, the pair had hit a rich vein of form. Law is confident that if they can pick up where they left off, more silverware will be coming to Old Trafford.

“If the two of them are playing together, that has to be a problem for any defence,” said Law.

“When you have two players like that there is a fair chance you will win the league or the Champions League. They will definitely win something.”

Van Persie took his tally to 19 with his equaliser at West Ham last weekend and is already odds–on to emulate another famous United figure, Cristiano Ronaldo, by landing the PFA Player of the Year prize in consecutive seasons.
