Asked in an interview with England sports outlet Sky Sports, Wayne Rooney, a former legendary striker of Premier League giants Manchester United, about the problems his former club currently facing, Rooney was blunt, saying it was a mistake for United to bring back Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays for Serie A giants Juventus, back to the club when the transfer window opened last summer, saying that Cristiano Ronaldo and midfielder Paul Ronaldo, whose contract was about to expire, were a mistake. Pogba should leave Old Trafford in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Wayne Rooney said: "Cristiano Ronaldo scored important goals for United early in the Champions League, scored a hat-trick against Tottenham Hotspur and performed well, but I think if you want a future for Manchester United clubs, the team must train young players so that they can improve Manchester United in the next two or three years, Ronaldo should not compete for space for young players, midfielder Paul Pogba should have his career elsewhere, somewhere else, He may have a better development and, most importantly, I don't think Pogba has had enough impact on United when he returns to Manchester United. ”
Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United last summer from Serie A giants Juventus, scoring 18 goals in 32 games for Manchester United, but the 37-year-old has been heavily criticised for lacking an overall contribution to Manchester United in the game. The 37-year-old Ronaldo rose to fame at Manchester United, the Portuguese superstar scored 118 goals in his first competition for the Red Devils, and then left Old Trafford for La Liga giants Real Madrid Football Club, and Ronaldo's career at the Bernabeu took him to a whole new level, becoming a superstar known around the world.
Manchester United's French midfielder Paul Pogba played for Old Trafford in 2009, in 2012, Pogba, who had been refusing to sign a contract extension with Manchester United, joined Serie A giants Juventus as a free agent, at Juventus, his career reached new heights, so he attracted attention including La Liga giants Real Madrid and his former club Manchester United, and in the end, Manchester United beat Real Madrid, in 2016, for 89 million pounds, Pogba, who broke the world's transfer price at the time, returned to become a world-class midfielder, but Pogba returned to Manchester United, his performance was volatile and did not match his transfer value, but he copied the situation of the last time he left Manchester United, he refused to sign a new contract with Manchester United and will become a free agent this summer.
