Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney hopes to have Argentinean striker Carlos Tevez next to him at the club as he is very confident they could form a fine partnership. "He's a great player, He did fantastic for West Ham last season in helping them to stay up,” Rooney told Sky Sports News. "If he signs I'm sure he'll be a great player for us, with the attacking options we've got already. He'd be a good partner for me to play with and if he signs it'll be great for the team." The 23-year-old was expected to pass the medical tests at Old Trafford last Tuesday but the affair was put on hold after West Ham refused the action. The Reds and the Hammers have agreed to get the case to FIFA to put an end to this saga. Otherwise the England number 9 is very excited about the new season. "It'll be a bit more difficult to keep your place, you'll have to play well every game so that'll be tough for all of us, the competition for places." "I think with the signings of Nani and Anderson, more attacking players, it will make it a bit more exciting for us. Manchester bought three players to Old Trafford until now Nani, Anderson and Owen Hargreaves.
