Manchester United striker Robin Van Persie is happy with the understanding that is quickly forming with Wayne Rooney, after the duo starred in the 4-2 win against Stoke City.

Van Persie was on target, while also creating the two goals for Rooney in another sparkling attacking performance from the Red Devils. The Dutchman first pinged in a perfect cross from the left for Rooney to head in, before the former Arsenal player's corner was hammered home by his teammate.

"Things are going well and our understanding is getting better all the time," van Persie told the club's official website. "Everyone could see from day one that we were working well together. We like to play together and we help each other.

"Sometimes Wayne plays at the top, sometimes I do and then he drops in and then you have Danny coming in from the left sometimes too. I might also go out there for a few minutes in a game or Wazza does. I think it's only the second or third time that we've played in this formation, but the main thing is we've had a good game and got three points."

United form a huge attacking threat with the likes of Van Persie, Rooney, Shinji Kagawa, Danny Welbeck and Javier Hernandez in their lineup, but the Dutchman hailed his team's ability to score from multiple positions.

"We can score from any angle," Van Persie added. "The first one against Stoke was from a cross from the left and a good header, the second was from a low cross, the third came from a cross again from the opposite side (to the first) and then the fourth goal came from a corner, so we've scored all sorts of different goals.

"In previous games as well we've shown we can score from every sort of angle which is a good sign and a good weapon for us."
