Wayne Rooney sends "pressure" message to Manchester United after Jadon Sancho transfer

Wayne Rooney has claimed there is "a lot of pressure" on Manchester United to show this season after the club completes a big-money move for Jadon Sancho. The Red Devils finally made a £73million move to sign Sancho from Borussia Dortmund and the winger is expected to be unveiled soon having undergone a medical. And United legend Rooney claims the weight of expectation on his former club only grows with each signing and urged Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to bring an end to their four-year trophy drought.

"I think there will be a lot of pressure, which there should be with Manchester United," United's record goalscorer told Sky Sports .   "Sancho coming in, they are rumoured to be in for a few more players. They are in a period now where the fans will be wanting success, silverware, and Ole and his coaching staff will be under pressure to deliver that.   "[Manchester] City, Chelsea the Champions League winners, Liverpool, there are some very good teams, but you can see with Manchester United they are getting gradually better.   "I think they will be in a place where they really will challenge next season."
