Wayne Rooney sends warning to Solskjaer over Gareth Bale’s deal

Image via AS English Wayne Rooney has warned Manchester United against spending huge sums on popular players and believes Solskjaer should be given time to choose young players. United have been linked with Real Madrid star Gareth Bale and Rooney says Solskjaer should prioritise future stars. Asked how Solskjaer can close the gap to Manchester City and Liverpool, Rooney told BBC Radio 5live: "It’s tricky of course but I think for Ole the first thing he’s got to try to do is build a squad. "I don’t think bringing in one or two players for over £100m is going to really help with the squad and with the players who are there. "I think he needs to try and look at five or six players who have got potential to be top players but you’re not spending £100m, £120m, £130m on these players." He continued: "You could bring three players in – Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos and Messi, or Gareth Bale, for instance – and it’s going to cost you £300m, £350m which you’d get maybe two years out of Ronaldo, a couple of years out of Ramos, and then you’ve written that money off."
