Wayne Rooney is confident he could form an effective
partnership with Carlos Tevez at Manchester United.
The Argentine striker is waiting to undergo a medical at Old
Trafford, with current club West Ham United refusing to grant
permission for the test to go ahead.
The Premier League champions still expect the transfer to go
through and Rooney is looking forward to playing alongside
Tevez.
"Tevez was unbelievable for West Ham in the second half of last
season," said Rooney. "He did brilliantly in keeping them up.
"He will be a great signing for us and I'd really look forward to
playing alongside him.
"I'm sure we could work out. Top players anywhere can work off each
other.
"At United, we don't really play with two up front because we try
and rotate and move, so it won't just be the two of us in
attack.
"But it will be fantastic and I am very excited about the
prospect."
Rooney also admitted he was happy to be back on the pitch after
featuring in United's opening pre-season game against Urawa Red
Diamonds on Tuesday.
He added: "I was really looking forward to playing again because
this is the longest summer I've ever had off.
"It was six weeks in all. After the first couple of weeks I got
bored and wanted to get back playing, so it was obviously nice to
play.
"I'm delighted to be back in training and will hopefully stay fit
throughout the summer and start the season really well."
