Wayne Rooney has made his predictions for the Premier League season 2025/26, in which the legend of Manchester United tilts his old side for a revival under Ruben Amorim
Legend Wayne Rooney from Manchester United has tipped Liverpool for the title and his old side for a revival of the Premier League under Ruben Amorim. However, he believes that the Red Devils are one or two bodies that are briefly in the new season.
United starts their season at home on Arsenal on Sunday and would like to jump back from a gloomy 15th place last season, who represented their worst Premier League campaign. But with new signing sessions Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha who strengthen their attack, there is a feeling of optimism for a new start.
Rooney, the most important score of United, believes that his former employers will climb an impressive 10 places to ensure fifth place in May. He made this prediction during a Day Special Edition Preview competition (via the Manchester Evening News) alongside Kelly Cates, Danny Murphy and Julien Laurens prior to the kick -off of the new season.
“I still think they are [United] Need one or two signing sessions, “said the old Trafford icon.” But I think you can see what Amorim is doing. I think it looks better for Manchester United, and I think they will sneak the top five. I hope they do that, you never know. “
Laurens quickly teased Rooney about his obvious bias, given his 559 performances for United. The Red Devils face a monumental challenge in regaining their Champions League references, especially after successive seasons of setting up new records for new all time worst competition.
“For whom did you play again?” Laurens extinguished and put Rooney and the rest of the panel in stitches over his potentially biased perspective. Despite his Everton and United Roots, Rooney did not make his loyalty obscure his judgment because he predicted that Liverpool would retain their title.
Moreover, he believes that if the team of Arne Slot manages to secure Isak, they are a certain gamble in front of the crown. The Newcastle attacker is currently in Loggerheads with the club after it was revealed that the Swede has been established that he played his last match for the Magpies, which is sharp in anticipation of another offer from Liverpool after a rejected offer of £ 120 million.
“I already had Liverpool as favorites to win the title this year,” Rooney admitted. “But when Isak comes in, I think they will not be stopping.
“The quality they have, as Danny is simply referred [to]And I think there was something big to replace Trent [Alexander-Arnold]. Many opportunities have been created, many goals came from that side. I think [Jeremie] Frimpong has the attributes to fill that, so I think Liverpool looks strong. “
Rooney could only grin while he spoke the words, although it was not a joy. Rather, it seemed to hurt the expert to praise so much praise over his old Nemeses, regardless of how good the praise would be.
Many experts reflect this sentiment as the new season approaches, especially with Liverpool who strengthen their team with talents such as Florian Wirtz and huge Ekitike. However, the men from Slot may not be able to find immediate success after Crystal Palace had grown the Community Shield in Wembley on Saturday.
Rooney also predicted that Arsenal will guarantee second place in the Premier League for the fourth consecutive year. He also tipped Manchester City and Chelsea to complete the top four.
