    Great. The format is as follows: you post the whole press conference first and then snippets from the press conference in loads of separate posts.

    Sir Alex Ferguson hails Rooney-Welbeck partnership

    Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck could be a Manchester United strikeforce as potent as Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke according to manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

    Rooney and Welbeck scored three in the 4-4 draw with Everton on Sunday.

    "I think last week we saw something really special," said Ferguson.

    Alex Ferguson on "the derby of all derbies".
    "There were a lot of reference to the Yorke and Cole thing and there were similarities. Wayne is 26, Danny is 21 and you would think that for the next few years they can only get better."

    Welbeck has started alongside Rooney in three of United's last four games, in preference to Mexican international Javier Hernandez.

    Ferguson, who says Monday's game is "the derby of all derby games", believes that the blossoming understanding between his two England international strikers was one positive aspect of a draw that allowed Manchester City to close the gap in the race for the title.

    "With Danny being fit again and playing consistently with Wayne it has developed," he added.

    United strikers - past and present
    •Andy Cole: 121 goals in 275 games
    •Dwight Yorke: 66 goals in 152 games
    •Wayne Rooney: 180 goals in 362 games
    •Danny Welbeck: 17 goals in 62 appearances
    "I thought Welbeck's movement was fantastic, he played really well. Attacking wise we were terrific in the second half, really brilliant."

    Cole and Yorke scored 35 league goals between them in the United's Treble winning season of 1999.

    Welbeck, with nine goals, and Rooney, second in the top-flight's scoring charts on 26 goals, have the same combined total for the current Premier League campaign.

    Comparisons between the two strike pairings were fuelled by similarities in the build-up play that preceded Rooney's second against Everton and the way Cole combined with Yorke to score against Barcelona in November 1998.

    Danny Welbeck will miss #MUFC v Swansea. Jonny Evans is still injured & Sir Alex Ferguson expects him to be missing too.

    By that time we'll know what we'll need to do, after City's game [vs Newcastle]. Hopefully we can recover and win our own game. - SAF

    Just spoke to SAF. Chris Smalling out of Euro 2012 with groin injury. No Welbeck or Evans at Sunderland. Rio is fit. #MUFC #mutv
