Wayne Rooney sends message to Lionel Messi over Manchester United transfer

Wayne Rooney wants to see Barcelona star Lionel Messi at Manchester United and has singled out Bruno Fernandes as one of the Premier League’s stars that could help Messi win seventh Ballon d’Or. Messi has expressed a desire to leave the La Liga side and has already been linked with several clubs including Manchester United, where he could end up. "I know he’s getting older but he’s a player who no one has seen before," Rooney told talkSPORT. "Messi has everything – he can create goals, score goals, dictate the game and is the best player of all time. "He’s one of the only players I’ve sat there and watched and been in awe. "Him and Cristiano Ronaldo have set a standard we won’t ever see again and are a different level." "If he can come to the Premier League, whichever team it is, Manchester City or Manchester United, I’d take Messi at United," Rooney added. "The United States shouldn’t be in his mindset at all because he’s too good for that level. He is miles too good for that level. "He could come to the Premier League and be a Player of the Year. One million per cent. "If he surrounds himself with Kevin De Bruyne, with Bruno Fernandes, these types of players, he could win a seventh Ballon d’Or." source - Metro Join us on Telegram
