MUFC Should Keep The Young Players And Sell The Rest – Rooney

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney has come out to urge the club to orchestrate a massive clear out at Old Trafford in the summer. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, apart from Bruno Fernandes who clearly has the quality and fight in him, he would keep the young players and get rid of the rest this summer.

Rooney added that MUFC needs better players to compete for the EPL title, so a clearout is needed.

His words, “You have to build the team around Bruno. He’s quality and has got fight in him, and then I think all the other players, get rid of them.

I think you keep the young players, and you keep Bruno. I think it has to be a massive clear out. It has to be. It’s not going to be in one year, but I think it’s going to be in the next couple of years… I think [Andre Onana] has had a shaky start but has got better and better over the year. For me, [Diogo] Dalot’s done well, [Harry] Maguire has had an in-and-out season. To compete in this league they need better players. Don’t get me wrong, these players are good players. But to compete with Man City, Liverpool, and Arsenal, they need better players.”

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, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
