Wayne Rooney urged MU to sign a contract with two new players before the summer of 2025 closed, he wanted the Red Devils to pursue Gianluigi Donnarumma.
MU spent nearly 200 million pounds this summer, consolidating the squad of coach Ruben Amorim by adding Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. Despite being defeated by Arsenal with a score of 1-0, there were signs of improvement in MU's performance in the English Premier League match 2025/26.
Except for the mistake of Altay Bayindir in the goalkeeper position, the remaining players of MU played well. Andrre Onana was the No. 1 choice of Amorim last season, the Portuguese military confirmed that he was absent in the match against Arsenal was a tactical decision, not injury.

Wayne Rooney wants MU to have 2 new contracts in the summer of 2025. |
Amorim affirmed that he was satisfied with the choices in the wooden frame, but the legendary Wayne Rooney wanted MU to pursue Gianluigi Donnarumma of PSG, he said:
“I think many MU NHM is insecure in the goalkeeper position, I also think that this position is a problem for the team. Donnarumma is on Techmart, if possible to recruit him, you must win him.
I remember the time when we were Roy Carroll and Tim Howard in the goal. I don't think the defenders have 100% trust when playing against those two goalkeepers. But as soon as Edwin van der Sar came on the pitch and mastered the penalty area, the defenders trusted him and the performance was significantly improved.
MU players want a goalkeeper to give them absolute trust, and I don't see it in the current players. With Donnarumma, he is only 26 years old and is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. It would be crazy if MU didn't recruit him. ”
Brighton's Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton of Crystal Palace are also aimed at upgrading midfield, when asked if MU needs more midfield, Rooney added: “Having a midfielder and a goalkeeper is a top priority, if they can solve that problem before the transfer period is closed, Amorim will have a relatively good squad. ”
