Manchester United news Wayne Rooney raring to go after last season woes plus views on Manchester City Liverpool Chicharito Lionel Messi and more - News - MirrorFootball.co.uk: "ROONEY ON... CHICHARITO The already-successful strike partnership between Wayne Rooney and Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez is going to get better and better, according to the England star.

“I hope we can improve,” said Rooney. “Javier is a young lad, he’s done really well and he’s been playing all summer [for Mexico, as they won the CONCACAF Gold Cup] so he needs a bit of a rest and it will take some time before he gets back into it.

“The really good thing is that we have such great competition for the two places up front, or sometimes only one place. We all have to make sure we really work hard if we want that place.”

Dimitar Berbatov has been the fall-guy at United because of the success of the Rooney-Chicharito partnership, but Rooney feels the good of the team must come first.

'I want to play all the games, it’s competition for places and at the end of the day it’s down to the manager,' he said. 'But Berba still has a massive role for us. He was top scorer last season and scored some important goals.”"
