Rooney Backs Baleba's Impact After Manchester United Signing
Wayne Rooney, the former striker for Manchester United, expressed his support for the club's signing of Carlos Baleba from Brighton, stating that the midfielder will improve the team "massively." Rooney dismissed claims that Baleba went missing after a failed transfer to Old Trafford last season. The deal for Baleba is expected to be worth up to £70 million, making him Manchester United's third midfield signing of the summer, following Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos.
Both Tielemans and Santos made their debuts in a disappointing 2-0 Premier League loss to newly promoted Hull. Rooney praised Baleba's physicality and ability to cover ground, emphasizing the need for competition in the midfield.
He stated, "If you don’t play well, you don’t play," highlighting the importance of performance in securing a place in the team.
