The veteran Scot claimed that the duo had performed admirably against Cluj and added that their chemistry will increase as the season wears on.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonny-Evans-c19085 might be sidelined due to a dead leg will not improve his mood either.
The Red Devils looked out of sorts in defence when dealing with the Cluj attack and as a host of top players are out, the tactician doesn’t have other options to choose from either.
However, United were boosted by the return of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736, who looked impressive while making his comeback from injury against Tottenham on the weekend.
The Englishman started with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 up-front and were the ones who made the difference, as the Reds succumbed to an early goal after some atrocious defending.
Luckily, though, they had their Dutch star firing on all cylinders and it was he who leveled the score shortly after.
With the game poised at 1-1, Van Persie sealed the win with a goal in the second half from a Rooney free-kick and earned his side three points, although they were far from their best on the night.
However, Ferguson was impressed by what he saw in attack and piled praise on his front-line after the tie, reiterating that the strikers will improve even further as they get to know each other more thoroughly.
“I think there are good combinations between all the players in attacking positions. I’m really pleased that the possession was really good tonight and apart from their goal I think we defended really well. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 (De Gea) made a good save towards the end.
Coming out here is never easy and as I said before the game, they’ve got a good home record.”
“The strength of this squad is in attacking positions. If you look at the way they kept going to the end, they’re good crossers of the ball. They kept us under pressure the whole time and kept us on edge,” said the former Aberdeen boss.
