"Wayne is confident, playing well, and being honest, one of the reasons I was happy that Berbatov signed for United was that I knew it would inspire other players in the team to step their game up another level," said Ferdinand.
"It's not just the forwards but the other players as well. When a new player comes in that's what happens.
"Everyone wants to impress that player and show them why they are playing for Manchester United. I think 'Wazza' has taken that on board and gone from strength to strength.
"I think they can be a great pairing. Berbatov's arrival will help him become a better player individually and go to another level.”
As Wayne Rooney returns to Carrington to link up with the rest of the United squad, he will be determined to continue his goal scoring run.
"Goals are going in for me and I'm really pleased. I work every day on my finishing and it's going well," Rooney said. "You can always improve, there are weaknesses there I can improve on. I've worked a lot on my finishing and it's starting to pay off on the pitch now which I'm happy about.
"I believe I'm going to score in any game anyway. I'm a confident person and I'm delighted they are going in at the moment. Hopefully I can keep it going."
Sir Alex Ferguson probably only had one thing in mind when he splashed over 30 million pounds for Berbatov and that was the amount of goals the Bulgarian would provide for his side. Little did Ferguson, or anyone for that matter, know that the former Tottenham striker would be key to Wayne Rooney’s return to top goal scoring form.
Rooney will hope to extend his goal scoring streak this weekend as he and the rest of his United teammates look to continue their charge up the standings as they take on West Brom at Old Trafford on Saturday.
