Wayne Rooney names three players Man Utd should sign this summer including transfer for iconic former star


MANCHESTER UNITED legend Wayne Rooney has announced his top three picks for the struggling club to sign over summer.

United have had a conflicting season, excelling – and going unbeaten – in the Europa League while hitting new lows at 16th in the Premier League.

Even if they win the May 21 showpiece, something needs to change.

Enter Rooney – United’s all-time top scorer, 253 goals, has suggested three players that could swing their fortunes:

Rooney said: “I’d probably sign David de Gea, Manchester United have missed him and I think he could still do a very good job.”

De Gea fell out of favour at Old Trafford but since his move to Italy last year he has kept 11 clean sheets with Serie A ninth-placed Fiorentina.

The former Premier League star Rooney has not hit the same staggering heights in the dugout as he did as a player – which some fans on social media have brutally pointed out in disagreement with his picks.

One said: “Ah yes, this makes a lot of sense on why he doesn’t last long in managerial roles.

“Amazing player, but wow. We have plenty of CB options. Need a reliable right 10.”

Another said: “Relegation justified for the clubs he managed.”

The goalkeeper spot is a sore point after No1 Andre Onana has proved to be blunder-prone and his replacement Altay Bayindir not necessarily a safer bet.

United are in dire need of defensive reinforcements with the likes of Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro struggling for form and fitness, with Lisandro Martinez also a long-term casualty.

In attack, Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have endured horrid seasons, with fresh blood in attack sorely needed if they’re to return to their glory days.
