Manchester United rumours
Manchester United star Wayne Rooney has told manager Louis van Gaal which striker he should try to sign this summer, according to reports.
The Red Devils are currently looking at three main options to aid their attack, with raids on La Liga looking possible in a bid to replace failed loan signing Radamel Falcao and the ageing Robin van Persie.
Read on to see the three strikers United are looking at, and which one club captain Rooney would most like to be playing alongside next season…
1) Mario Mandzukic (Atletico Madrid)
One name on United’s list is Atletico Madrid front-man Mario Mandzukic, who is supposedly available for around £25m this summer after failing to fully impress manager Diego Simeone since arriving from Bayern Munich last summer. Still, the Croatian international has bagged 20 goals this season and could surely do a job up front for United.
2) Carlos Bacca (Sevilla)
A hugely prolific marksman playing for Sevilla, Carlos Bacca’s fine form helped fire the club to Europa League glory this term and he has since attracted plenty of interest from the likes of Liverpool as well as from United.
3) Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)
However, Rooney’s ideal choice for United next season would be England colleague Harry Kane, who has had a storming season for Tottenham. The 21-year-old managed an incredible 31 goals in total, and has since been linked with a £40m move to Old Trafford, with Rooney supposedly telling van Gaal he thinks he has what it takes to make the step up and shine in a red shirt.
