Over the past two seasons, English giants Manchester United have failed to secure a top-five spot in the Premier League, a fact that has been deeply disappointing for Reds fans around the world. On the other hand, there are some optimistic figures who believe the team can achieve something significant under coach Ruben Amorim.

Who are the optimistic names?

Among these optimistic names was English club legend Wayne Rooney, who finds himself optimistic that Ruben Amorim's team can achieve good results next season and can also secure a top-five spot in the Premier League next season.Speaking to the BBC, the owner of the famous number 10 shirt confirmed that the team can achieve good results by adding some names and strengthening certain positions that will add vitality to the team.

🚨🗣️ Wayne Rooney: “I think they [Man United] still need ONE or TWO more signings but I can see what Amorim is doing. It's looking better for United and I think they will sneak into the top five. I hope they do and you never know.” #MUFC [BBC]

I think they still need one or two signings, but I understand what Amorim is trying to do. The situation looks better for Manchester United, and I think they can sneak into the top 5. Hopefully it happens—after that, who knows? I’d still like to see a reliable central midfielder who can control the game and help build attacks. I feel they need one more player like that. As for Bruno, I’d like to see him pushed further forward—this would allow him to get into attacking positions more often
