Wazza Raves Over Recruits …
Sky: Wayne Rooney is confident Carlos Tevez would be a fine partner for him should the Argentinian sign for Manchester United.
Sir Alex Ferguson wants to add Tevez this summer, but is being frustrated by West Ham, who are digging their heels in an attempt to hang onto the striker.
Rooney is hoping Tevez will eventually be a United player and expects the 23-year-old to be a huge hit at Old Trafford.
“He’s a great player,” Rooney told Sky Sports News. “He did fantastic for West Ham last season in helping them to stay up.
“If he signs I’m sure he’ll be a great player for us, with the attacking options we’ve got already.
“He’d be a good partner for me to play with and if he signs it’ll be great for the team.”
Tevez would be the third attack-minded arrival at United, following the signings of Nani and Anderson.
Rooney is excited about the prospects for the new season, but admits the pressure will be on to keep performing with the increased competition for places.
“I think with the signings of Nani and Anderson, more attacking players, it will make it a bit more exciting for us.
“It’ll be a bit more difficult to keep your place, you’ll have to play well every game so that’ll be tough for all of us, the competition for places.”
Owen Hargreaves has also joined from Bayern Munich, and Rooney added: “Obviously a few of the lads know him from playing with him with England.
“We know what he gives us, he’s a good solid player.”
