3 Reasons why Manchester United shouldn’t have given Wayne Rooney the new contract

3. Invest in young talent

The amount of money that is required to keep Wayne Rooney at Old Trafford could easily have been used to bring in young talent. The current squad is full of ageing players who are mediocre at best. Their inconsistent performances have resulted in the dire situation United find themselves in at the moment.

Given the proper investment in young and upcoming talent United would have been able to build a balanced team that would be able to take on Europe’s best in 2-3 years’ time. It would not only freshen up the team but also add some much needed drive to a team that has seemed lethargic for large chunks of this season.
