Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Wayne Rooney, a Manchester United star, has encouraged Paul Pogba and Cristiano Ronaldo to leave the club for the second time this summer. Pogba left Manchester United as a youngster in 2012 before returning three years later. The French star has been unable to turn things around for his team, and Rooney believes that when his contract expires in June, he should begin searching for a new club.<\/p>\n

\u2018I think it\u2019s definitely reached to the point where he should probably move on,\u2019 Rooney told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n

\u2018If Paul is being honest with himself, I believe he hasn\u2019t had the impact he would have desired since returning to Manchester United.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018When I see him play for France, it\u2019s clear that he\u2019s a completely different player.\u2019 Every game, France has the ability, vision, and control of the game. It just hasn\u2019t worked out for him at Manchester United.\u2019<\/p>\n

Cristiano Ronaldo, who rejoined United from Juventus last summer, is also back for his second term with the club. When asked about Ronaldo\u2019s influence since his return to England, Rooney admitted that the transfer was a mistake.<\/p>\n

When asked if Ronaldo\u2019s return to the Premier League has benefited United, Rooney replied, \u2018You\u2019d have to say no.\u2019 \u2018He\u2019s scored, and he\u2019s scored big goals early in the season in Champions League games.\u2019 Against Tottenham, he scored a hat-trick.<\/p>\n

\u2018However, I believe that if you are looking to the club\u2019s future, you must go with younger, more eager players who will do all in their power to lift Manchester United over the next two or three years.\u2019<\/p>\n
