Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney has come out to urge the club to ignore superstar names during the summer transfer window. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, because a lot of superstar names have failed at MUFC in recent years, it is best to just identify a core group of players who can help sustain the club over the next two or three years.
Rooney added that Matheus Cunha is definitely a top player, and he is not at superstar level at the moment.
His words, “I think there are a lot of players who are good enough for Manchester United. I think he’s (Cunha) a top player, and since a lot of players have gone now with ability and reputation and have struggled over the last few years, so, I think it’s difficult. United needs to really identify a core group of players who can help sustain the club over the next two or three years. Instead of going for names which they’ve done in the past with (Romelu) Lukaku, (Paul) Pogba, Zlatan (Ibrahimovic). Going for superstars and names, which I don’t think Cunha is at that level at the minute.
Financial fair play might hit them as well, so the recruitment has to be miles better. Identify a group of players, a bit of what Liverpool have done over the last few years, and gradually get United back where they were.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
