Under manager Ruben Amorim, the Red Devils have suffered their worst season in the competition since its foundation in 1992. United is currently getting away in 16th place with a record layer of 39 points and hope to achieve the Europa League title in an attempt to save the face after another terrible campaign.
The current goalkeeper Andre Onana has often been a scapegoat for United fans after his constant errors and inconsistencies this season. Many have called on him to leave the club and be replaced for the new season, because the majority of fans has lost patience with the 29-year-old, who may think about leaving the side after so much spot.
Now, speaking with Amazon Prime Video Sport, Rooney has called for David de Gea to be signed again after he was allowed to leave a free transfer almost two years ago, when former manager Erik ten Hag was in charge.
“I would sign David de Gea. I think Manchester United missed him and I think he would do great.”
The former English star also mentioned two signing sessions that he would make, including a Napoli attacker who is a united target for a number of seasons.
“I would sign the second Osimhen as a number nine. He is a good striker and possibly available.
“The third that I would sign, it would probably be difficult, but I would try to sign Guehi from Crystal Palace. As a center-back he would have a really good impact.”
De Gea spent 12 seasons with United, where he won the Premier League once and won the Player of the Season prize of United four times, when it matches the record of Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes. The Spaniard is currently in Fiorentina, where he has helped them to secure a European place and reach the semi -final of the Europa Conference League.
This summer he is in a pre-season match in a pre-season match in what an emotional return will be to his old side that can follow him closer after Rooney's comments. Onana is considered a large downgrade after the departure of the Gea and the Cameroonian can see the summer as an opportunity to escape the spotlights and try to conquer his shape at Ajax for his move to Manchester.
