Wayne Rooney has called upon Sir Alex to splash-out on one or two new 'big-name' strikers this summer, to help The Reds on their way to glory next season. United had been burdened with filling the goal void left by Carlos Tevez and more importantly, Cristiano Ronaldo. And now Roo is reflecting the fans' opinion. 

34 goals in a season was a record for Roo, but he fell short of the 42 goals scored by Ronaldo two seasons ago. United did manage to score more goals this season than last, but the absence of Tevez's hard-work and Ronnie's set-play was duly missed.

Now Wazza has echoed the fans' calls for a new, maybe two, big-name strikers; "If we can bring in two big-name players in it would give us a good chance of getting the league back," he told The People.

"If you look at the team in 1999 that won the treble we had four forwards, all capable of scoring goals. Now there is me, Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Owen. There is Federico Macheda too, but if we can get one more top forward in it would give us the right balance."

He then went-on to talk about his contract: "I have two years left on my current contract so talks haven't started yet on a new one. But I am sure after the World Cup we will sit down and speak about a new deal." The 24-year-old striker added: "I've been disappointed with the last month of the season with injuries but overall I am more than happy with the number of goals I have scored this season."

"The manager told me he would be playing me more up front and I knew that with Ronaldo and (Carlos) Tevez leaving I would have to score more goals. To score so many this time was fantastic - but it's still not my best season. I once scored 76 in a season when I was 11. But it's my best as a professional and I know the expectation will be there for me to do it again next season."
