Rooney and Berbatov make life difficult for Argentine striker
After grabbing all the goals in the 3-0 win over Celtic, Dimitar Berbatov and Wayne Rooney have now scored nine goals in Manchester United’s last four games. And the longer that run continues, the worse things get for Carlos Tevez, who has played just 85 minutes in those games.
When Berbatov signed on deadline day it looked like Rooney would be the man forced to engage in conversation with Tomasz Kuszczak in the dugout but his latest purple patch has left Tevez stewing on the sidelines wondering how it all turned sour so quickly.
Last season he scored fourteen goals, two more than Rooney, including a winner at Anfield and vital last minute equalisers at Tottenham and Blackburn. Tevez’s impact was so great that one Spoiler correspondent saw almost as many Tevez 32 shirts as he did Ronaldo 7 ones when he visited Old Trafford last season.
Is Rooney’s recent form just a flash in the pan or should Rooney and Berbatov lead the line for the rest of the season? Vote and comment below on which United striker should be left on the bench when they play 4-4-2.

Someone should point out that Tevez hasn’t had much of a break these last two three years and so if he’s playing less these days, he’s earned the rest. Ferguson can now afford to leave him out for a while.
Did no one really notice how knackered he was getting?????

Hasn’t had much of a break in recent years? He only started half the league games during his season with us!
