Former Manchester
United forward Wayne Rooney believes that the club must let Cristiano Ronaldo
leave if they are to build a successful team for the future under new manager
Erik ten Hag.
The 37-year-old Ronaldo, who re-signed for United from
Juventus last season, reportedly wants a move away from Old Trafford after the
team's failure to qualify for the Champions League.
"I think United should let Cristiano Ronaldo go. It's
not that Ronaldo can't play in a Ten Hag team. He can play in any team,"
Rooney, who now manages Major League Soccer side DC United, wrote in a column
for the Times newspaper.
"Ronny will always score you goals. But my personal
view is that United aren't ready to challenge for the title now, so the aim has
to be to build a team that can win the league in the next three to four years,
and you have to plan for that."
Ronaldo netted 24 times in all competitions last season,
emerging as one of the few bright sparks in an otherwise forgettable campaign
for United that saw them finish sixth.
Ten Hag this week said he was happy to have a "top
striker" like Ronaldo in the squad and looking forward to working with
him.
Rooney, who is United's all-time leading scorer, added he
was hopeful that Ten Hag would be able to establish a clear playing style at
his former club.
"I couldn't work out what they were trying to do in
terms of game plan, or see any patterns of play," Rooney said of last
season.
"I think one of the big things you'll see from Ten Hag
is him really trying to put his stamp on the playing identity."
United kick off their Premier League campaign at home to
Brighton & Hove Albion later on Sunday.
