Manchester United manager Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson claims that starting strikers Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck have formed a similar partnership to the one which Dwight York and Andy Cole had two decades ago.
The Red Devils have always had a plethora of attacking options at Old Trafford, whether be it Eric Cantona, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer or http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ruud-van-Nistelrooy-c31966.
However in the dominant spell of the 1990’s, Dwight York and Andy Cole formed a solid partnership up-front and it was one of the most prolific duos ever witnessed in the Ferguson era.
Both York and Cole played a major part in the treble and are now seen as true club legends.
Following the same illustrious path are England Internationals http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-Welbeck-c10233. While Rooney has been playing at the highest level for some years now, Welbeck has only been a recent feature in the starting line-up.
After his successful loan spell with Sunderland, Ferguson chose to put his faith in the talented youngster and he has repaid that with a string of brilliant performances and a great return of goals.
The Scot is reaping the benefits of an Academy graduate, who not only cost next to nothing but has formed a deadly partnership with Rooney in attack.
With 12 and 33 goals apiece, Welbeck and Rooney have been hailed as one of the best striking forces in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 and according to Fergie, they are reminiscent of Dwight York and Andy Cole days.
“Last week we saw something really special. I know there was a lot of reference to the Yorke and Cole thing. There were similarities to that. Danny’s movement was fantastic. Now he is fit again and playing consistently, he has developed better,” he said.
“Wayne is 26 now. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-c10193 is 21. For the next few years they can only get better. We certainly hope so,” the veteran tactician was quoted as saying.
With United facing rivals Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Monday in what is the Premier League decider, Ferguson will be hoping that his forwards are raring to go and can see of the Citizens with ease.
