The former Manchester united player and captain Wayne Rooney has offered some tips needed for his darling club to change things at the Old Trafford should they want to achieve success in the future.
“You have to build the team around Bruno,” Rooney asserted during a post-match analysis on Sky Sports. “He’s quality and has got fight in him, and then I think all the other players, get rid of them.”
Rooney clarified: “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.”
Wayne Rooney however is not sure that an immediate success can be guaranteed in the near future even not sure a decade can do the job, he believes the departure of former coach Sir Alex Ferguson has left a void they might struggle to fill.
“Well, you look at Man City when their new owners came in it took them 15 years to win the Champions League. That’s potentially what you might be looking at, you hope not,” he said.
