Manchester United striking duo Wayne Rooney and Robin Van Persie are the best in the world. This is according to their team mate and latest signing Juan Mata.
The Spanish international had joined the Red Devils from Chelsea during the January transfer window. He put up a stellar performance in his first appearance against Cardiff City. He scored the opener for United with a stunning finish. Wayne Rooney who was just returning from injury also put up an impressive performance. United won the match 2 – 0.
Juan Mata was forced to leave because he wasn’t having regular play time under Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.
"Rooney and Robin are two of the best strikers in the world. Mata said.
It will be amazing to play alongside them. I just want to help them and help the team win matches.”
Manchester are presently rooted to the seventh position on the league table, six points behind Liverpool who are placed fourth on the table. But the Spaniard feels that United can climb to the top of the league table before the end of the season.
The 25 year old former Chelsea midfielder is also excited about how easily he has settled down at Old Trafford. He said that the reception accorded him by the club is simply amazing.
Coach David Moyes has defended himself on why he had to leave Wayne Rooney and Januzaj on the bench. According to him, it goes to show that Manchester United now has strength in squad depth.
Do you agree with Mata that Rooney and Van Persie are two of the world’s best strikers? Would the coming of the Spaniard make any significant difference in United’s performance this season? Let’s watch and see.
