Sir Alex Ferguson has warned that the partnership of Robin van Persie and Shinji Kagawa will only get better as they develop a greater understanding.
The two players scored on their home debuts for Manchester United in their 3-2 win overFulham and had the United manager delighted with their attacking force.
"The first-half performance was fantastic," said Ferguson. "It could have been five, six, anything. But we made a terrible mistake for the second goal and it becomes a match. Before that it had never been a match."
"Obviously it is early doors and there will be a better understanding as time goes on."
And it seems Ferguson is intent on operating with someone occupying a deeper role behind Van Persie. "We normally do that, whether it is Wayne [Rooney] who plays in that role, or Danny Welbeck can do it," said Ferguson. "Ashley Young and Ryan Giggs can play there. We have options that way."
Fulham manager Martin Jol feared Kagawa would be a danger when coach at Hamburg but hoped that his side would not be exposed to his threat. "I know Kagawa from my time in Germany and I knew he would not play on the left,” Jol said. “It might have been an advantage because my players did not know him.”
