Rooney relishes Chicha reunion
Wayne Rooney admits he is looking forward to renewing his strike partnership with Javier Hernandez as the season pans out.
The pair forged a great alliance at the back-end of last season but Chicharito has been short of full fitness after picking up concussion on the US tour.
Although Danny Welbeck is sidelined due to a hamstring strain, Dimitar Berbatov, Michael Owen, Federico Macheda and Mame Biram Diouf are also competing for places, but Hernandez will be hoping for his first start of the campaign at Bolton after scoring for Mexico against Poland.
"He was a young lad in his first season and I probably didn't think he was going to play as many games as he did," Rooney revealed in an exclusive in-depth interview with MUTV.
"Once he got into the team, he took his chance and the manager kept him in. He repaid the manager with goals and was brilliant for us last season - a big reason why we won the league.
"I'm looking forward to him doing the same, if not scoring more goals for us, this season."
The Reds' number 10 has no worries about those fretting that Hernandez will find it more difficult to find the net in his second season in the Barclays Premier League.
"Of course people know about him now but, if you look at all the top players around the world, people know how they play and it's still difficult to stop them," reasoned Rooney.
"I'm sure people will know a bit more about him this year but his movement is so good it's difficult to defend against. It won't be easy for players to defend against him whether they know about him or not.
"He's a lovely lad who is great for us around the dressing room. Me and him do a lot of finishing after sessions to try and keep progressing and getting better.
"It's great to have a lad who has just come into the team, who speaks good English and is always smiling. It's great for him and for me to have someone like that.
"I think we can both learn from each other." |

Ferguson tak minat guna khidmat Sneijder
SNEIJDER gagal memenuhi impiannya untuk berhijrah ke Old Trafford pada musim panas lalu.
LONDON – Pengurus Manchester United, Alex Ferguson menjelaskan, dia enggan meneruskan usaha mendapatkan Wesley Sneijder pada musim panas lalu kerana perancang Inter Milan itu dianggap tidak sesuai mengambil tempat Paul Scholes.
Sebelum ini, Sneijder telah dikaitkan dengan perpindahan ke Old Trafford, namun akhirnya membuat keputusan untuk terus kekal di San Siro.
Selepas musim perpindahan ditutup baru-baru ini, Sneijder mengakui bahawa dia hampir sahaja menyertai skuad The Red Devils.
Begitupun, Ferguson pula mendedadakan, hanya dua sahaja pemain di dunia yang mampu mengisi tempat Scholes di bahagian perancang United.
“Sebenarnya Sneijder bukan pengganti yang sesuai kepada Scholes,” kara Ferguson.
“Dia memang seorang pemain yang bagus, tetapi bukan pemain yang kami cari untuk menggantikan Scholes.
“Hanya Xavi dan Iniesta (kedua-duanya pemain Barcelona) yang boleh dibandingkan dengan Scholes,” kata Ferguson. – Agensi |

Bolton ratings
Read our individual ratings after another excellent team display at Bolton...
David De Gea
Made a mockery of pre-match speculation over his inclusion, proving decisive throughout and making rock-solid saves when Bolton sporadically threatened.
Phil Jones
The boy is fast looking a sensation. Having shone at centre back, the summer signing showed that he can also star as a marauding right-back too, notching a pair of assists and rarely putting a foot wrong.
Jonny Evans
Another impressive outing from the Northern Ireland international, who withstood the bulky prowess of Kevin Davies in almost total comfort.
Rio Ferdinand
A serene return to action for the veteran defender, who came back from a two-match absence to lend invaluable experience to the Reds' backline.
Patrice Evra
Withstood a poor challenge from Davies early on and dominated his battle with ex-Red Chris Eagles, bombing forward repeatedly to help out in attack.
Nani
Teased and tormented Paul Robinson all afternoon, putting in an unplayable cross for Chicharito's opener and playing a part in four of the Reds' five goals.
Tom Cleverley
A nightmare for the youngster, who was given just five minutes before a poor tackle from Kevin Davies curtailed his afternoon and his start to the season.
Anderson
Omnipresent at times. The Brazilian is showing the benefits of a sustained run of fitness and involvement, and he is revelling in United's mantra of one-touch pass-popping.
Ashley Young
attacks came down Bolton's left flank, but nevertheless a solid display to prolong his fine start to life at the Reds.
Wayne Rooney
Magnificent, once again. Three shots spawned three goals and a second successive hat-trick, and he is pulling all the strings in United's new-look attack.
Javier Hernandez
Took only five minutes of his first start of the season to score, and looked absolutely lethal throughout. How his first hat-trick eluded him remains a mystery, but it will come sooner rather than later.
Substitutes
Michael Carrick (on for Tom Cleverley, 8 mins)
Thrown into the mix in difficult circumstances, but brought his trademark cool and calm to the United engine room and turned in a typically effective performance.
Ryan Giggs (on for Young, 68 mins)
Even when he comes on in an already one-sided game, Giggs has a galvanising impact. Wonderful pass to Nani in the build-up to Rooney's hat-trick strike.
Chris Smalling (on for Evans, 68 mins)
Rested after his England exertions, the hulking defender slotted seamlessly into the heart of defence against a Bolton side pushing for late consolation. |

Bolton 0 United 5
United's mesmerising start to the Barclays Premier League season continued with a five-goal stroll at Bolton's Reebok Stadium, as Javier Hernandez struck his first goals of the campaign and Wayne Rooney extended his fine form with a second successive hat-trick.
The Reds turned in a devastating showcase of finishing, bagging three goals inside the first half-hour and a further pair after the break, and also demonstrated promising defensive resolve in the face of a characteristically direct bombardment from the hosts.
The only sour note of the afternoon was a derivative of the Trotters' trademark vigour, as Tom Cleverley left the Reebok Stadium on crutches after a heavy challenge from Bolton skipper Kevin Davies, having apparently suffered a damaged ankle.
Hitherto, Sir Alex Ferguson had enjoyed good news with injuries after the recent international break, and made only minimal changes to the line-up which started last month's romp against Arsenal. Danny Welbeck, who suffered a hamstring strain against the Gunners, was replaced by Hernandez, while Rio Ferdinand returned at the expense of Chris Smalling and Phil Jones shunted over to right-back.
As had been the case in the Reds' opening three league games, United began in proactive fashion. Indeed, it took the visitors just five minutes to forge ahead. As a United attack built on the right wing, with Rooney releasing Nani, Chicharito outwitted Gary Cahill by shaping to move to the near post, feinting to the back and then sprinted forward just in time to redirect Nani’s centre past the sprawling Jussi Jaaskelainen.
United had actually taken the lead without a full compliment of players. At the time of the goal, Cleverley was receiving treatment for an ankle injury after a poor challenge from Davies. Bolton had their best opening of the half while Cleverley was en route to the dressing room, but Rooney was on hand to hack Chris Eagles’ volley off the line after a goalmouth scramble. Michael Carrick was duly introduced to restore equality in personnel.
Bolton skipper Davies was booked for a lunging challenge on Evra and Ivan Klasnic brought a spectacular save from De Gea with a stinging effort from the edge of the box, but the hosts’ defiance was soon doused by a devastating spell of attacking from United.
Jones took a quick throw-in and, upon receiving the ball straight back from Chicharito, arced an unplayable cross into the heart of the Bolton area, where the onrushing Rooney needed only brush the ball with the studs of his right boot to double United’s lead.
Jones was the epicentre of the Reds’ celebratory huddle, and the makeshift right-back was again the hub of joy five minutes later. Having swapped passes with Nani, the marauding youngster strode through the Bolton midfield and defence and, although his shot was saved by Jaaskelainen, Rooney carefully tucked the rebound between the desperate lunges of Cahill and Dedryck Boyata to heap further misery on the hosts.
Fresh from the eight-goal salute to Arsenal, another attacking frenzy was underway. Hernandez appeared to have turned in United’s fourth just two minutes later, but his neat finish applied to a Nani cross was correctly rendered illegal by an assistant’s flag.
The game lulled for the final third of the half, as rampant visitors and shell-shocked hosts drew breath. Kevin Davies swiped air rather than ball after a decent Martin Petrov cross and Nani fired into the side-netting from close-range, but the interval came with United exuding comfort.
Were any reminder required that Bolton can never be taken lightly, especially at home, it was served by Klasnic within two minutes of the restart. Fortunately, De Gea had the smart reflexes and handling to field the Croatian's low snapshot.
At the opposite end, Jaaskelainen did well to flick Anderson's wicked free-kick wide of the post, but relied on his defenders to dig him out of a hole after Hernandez had stolen possession outside the area. The Mexican didn't have to wait long, however, to double his tally, sliding home from close range after Michael Carrick's shot had rolled through a thicket of bodies.
Bolton's response to the fourth goal was positive, as Nigel Reo-Coker crashed a shot against De Gea's crossbar, before both sides rang the changes. Kevin Davies made way for David N'gog and Darren Pratley replaced ex-Red Chris Eagles for the hosts, while Sir Alex introduced Ryan Giggs and Smalling at the expense of Ashley Young and the limping Evans.
The amendments did little to stifle the flow of the game, as United popped passes around with abandon. Nor did it stem the tide of goals, as Rooney smashed home his second successive hat-trick. A raking ball from Giggs found Nani, who rolled the ball across the edge of the area for Rooney to curl an unstoppable shot into Jaaskelainen's bottom right-hand corner.
Hat-trick secured, Rooney soon attempted to serve up another treble for Chicharito, but his centre was narrowly behind the Mexican striker. Late on, Chicharito was played in by Nani, but unselfishly attempted to square for the excellent Anderson, who couldn't quite convert into the gaping goal.
No matter, five more than sufficed to prolong the early-season excitement surrounding this United team. There's enough experience in the Reds' ranks to avoid getting giddy just over a week into September, but the verve and swagger about this bunch of twinkling talents renders caution harder by the week. |

Boss surprised by Reds' start
Sir Alex Ferguson admits he is impressed with how his young side has dealt with a tough opening to the season thus far, though warns that the big games will keep coming.
Having added Bolton to a growing list of tricky scalps with a thumping win at the Reebok Stadium, the young Reds continue to catch the eye amid a taxing run of fixtures.
"When I saw the programme to begin with I thought it would be tough but the boys are coping with it very well," Sir Alex told MUTV.
"There are a lot of big games coming up. We've got Chelsea next Sunday and we've got to go to Lisbon on Wednesday which is an important game. Benfica have always been tremendous opponents of ours and it'll be another hard game."
Wayne Rooney and Chicharito will aim to reprise their goalscoring heroics of the Reebok Stadium over the coming weeks and months, and Sir Alex had high praise for the deadly duo.
"He's a menace to any defender," the Boss said of Chicharito. "If you look at his first goal, his movement and speed to get across in front of the defender was absolutely first class. Over the years you've always said that [players can struggle] if they have a good first year and they're young, but I expected what I saw today."
On Rooney's growing influence, Sir Alex claimed: "It's down to maturity. He's in his mid-20s and I always think when players get to this age they get more authority in their game, their timing is better and their control of games is better. His presence is getting bigger in every game. He's looking fantastic." |

Strikers revel in Reebok romp
Fresh from sharing all five goals in a stunning win over Bolton, Wayne Rooney and Chicharito were in chipper mood, post-match at the Reebok Stadium.
The Mexican striker bagged a brace on his first start of the season, but Rooney went one better to notch his second successive hat-trick, and admitted afterwards that United could have had even more in a one-sided affair.
"We always know Bolton's a difficult place to come, but we got an early goal and kicked on from there," Rooney told ESPN. "Thankfully the win was a bit easier than we thought, but we still had to work hard for it.
"We controlled the game and I think it could have been a lot more, but obviously I'm delighted to score a hat-trick again. First start with Chicha and we both scored, so it's great."
The England striker has scored eight goals across United's four Barclays Premier League matches this term, and attributes his fine form to an uninterrupted summer of preparation.
"I had a long time to rest," he conceded. "I wanted a good pre-season under my belt and thankfully I've done that, steered clear of injuries and it's helped me for the start of the season."
Chicharito, meanwhile, was in typically modest mood after notching a clinical brace of close-range finishes, ranking the victory ahead of his own achievement and lauding more praise on his strike partner.
"Like I always say, the most important thing is the result," said the Mexican. "We got three points from a very difficult team like Bolton and we're delighted. I think every player can play with Wayne Rooney, he's playing really well. We know that Wazza's a world class player and a player who can do everything." |

Cleverley out for a month
Updated 11 September, 15:45
Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that Tom Cleverley will spend the next four weeks on the sidelines after limping out of United's win at Bolton on Saturday.
It was feared the midfielder, who has started the campaign in fine form, had broken a bone in his foot after feeling the full force of a Kevin Davies tackle just before Javier Hernandez's opener at the Reebok.
But the boss told ManUtd.com on Sunday that Cleverley has suffered ligament damage to his foot rather than a fracture.
The manager also said the club's medical team would assess second half knocks to Patrice Evra and Jonny Evans, ahead of the Reds' Champions League opening group game against Benfica in Lisbon.
"We'll see them on Sunday," he told MUTV. "Jonny is doubtful for Wednesday - he got a knee in the hip in the second half which was pretty painful, while Patrice got a kick on the kneecap. We'll have a look at them on Sunday - it's too early to say [how serious the injuries are]." |

Kami berhak di atas: Fergie
BOLTON: Sir Alex Ferguson percaya Manchester United berhak memimpin carta Liga Perdana Inggeris kerana mereka berdepan permulaan sukar, musim ini selepas membelasah Bolton 5-0, kelmarin.
United sekarang sudah menyumbat 18 gol dalam empat perlawanan liga dan Wayne Rooney mencatat hatrik kedua berturut-turut disokong Javier Hernandez, membolehkan mereka memimpin carta dengan kelebihan jaringan.
Ini bermakna barisan Ferguson sudah bersedia menanti kunjungan Chelsea, Ahad ini sebagai fokus utama dalam minda mereka dan bos Old Trafford itu mengerti kemenangan ke atas pasukan Andre Villas-Boas akan membolehkan United meneruskan saingan domestik dan Eropah yang memasuki musim luruh dalam kedudukan lebih baik.
"Anda hanya perlu memberi tumpuan kepada diri sendiri," kata Ferguson.
"Ia adalah permulaan sukar musim ini, kami terpaksa berdepan semua nama besar. Kami akan menentang Chelsea Ahad ini. Ini adalah permulaan yang sibuk dan jika kami berjaya melepasinya, kami akan berjaya."
Rooney menegaskan mereka seharusnya dapat menjaringkan lebih banyak gol di Stadium Reebok.
"Ini adalah perlawanan pertama saya bergandingan dengan Javier musim ini dan kami berjaya menjaringkan gol, ia amat hebat," kata Rooney. - AFP |
