Wayne Rooney has said he wants to see Man United sign big-name players during the summer transfer window and believes another top striker should be top of the wish list.
Rooney, who has netted 34 goals this season in all competitions despite injury lay-offs, said, “If we can bring in two big-name players, it would give us a good chance of getting the league back if Chelsea do win it.
“If you look at the team in 1999 that won the treble we had four forwards, all capable of scoring goals.
“Now there is me, (Dimitar) Berbatov and Michael Owen. There is Federico Macheda too, but if we can get one more top forward in it would give us the right balance.
“I have two years left on my current contract so talks haven’t started yet on a new one. But I am sure after the World Cup we will sit down and speak about a new deal.”
Rooney’s comments come ahead of today’s crucial title deciding clashes – United are in a must-win clash against Stoke City while Carlo Ancelotti’s men have to avoid slipping up at home to Wigan.
