Brown backs Rooney, Tevez to get Man Utd goals

Wes Brown has faith Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez will start hitting the goal trail for Manchester United.

"We've not scored too many goals recently," Brown told manutd.com.

"But we've had quite a few injuries so I'm not too concerned. Wayne has not played much and any side would miss him. But I'm sure we'll fine [with him back in the team]."

Rooney looked slightly short of match fitness against Newcastle, but 90 minutes of action can only aid his sharpness. Meanwhile, Tevez looked like a man possessed during pre-season, and will look to pick up where he left off when he returns to Manchester.

"Carlos [Tevez] was incredible on his own up front in pre-season," adds Wes. "He's looked really sharp and hungry - I don't know where he gets his energy from."
