Rooney Excited With United’s Summer Recruits
An eager Wayne Rooney has shared his views on new Manchester United signing Shinji Kagawa and seems optimistic their understanding on the pitch will be evident when the season kicks off next week.
Speaking after United came back from two goals down to win 4-3 against Hannover in a pre-season friendly yesterday, and scoring two goals himself, Rooney was quick to praise the Red Devils new midfield man.
“It was end-to-end and we were a bit sloppy at times. We could have done better defending,” the 26-year-old forward told MUTV.
“But I thought some of the play throughout the game was great. Some great link-up play between us.
“We’ve got the four goals which maybe we were lacking in pre-season and it’s great to get them with the season coming up.”
Asked if he enjoyed linking up with Kagawa, Rooney said: “It was great. Obviously he’s a very clever player.
“The likes of himself, Chicharito and Tom (Cleverley) – there are players capable of getting on the ball and linking the play and it worked well for us tonight.”

Dude it’s 3-1 down NOT 2-0. Makes a whole lot of difference. First half was 1-1, NOW where did that “2-0″ Come from? Regardless, great play from United despite sloppy defending

The comeback is a United specialty and Kagawa fits right in the pattern… Hope SAF doesnt spoil the pattern by getting RVP as we already have a great attack we just need a left back to supplement Evra and maybe a CM

The comeback showed a typical display of what man utd is capable of doing. But there is a great concern about the defence and that CM. Without Scholes in the pitch, in some games, utd’s ball possession is always poor. So, SAF needs to Sign 2 or 3 more players to add to the squad. 2 of which must be CM’s and a left-back. I don’t think Utd need RVP at the moment.
