Wayne Rooney has revealed he advised Manchester United to sign former Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye.
Rooney had only been playing with Gueye for a month at Goodison Park before calling United about the Senegalese midfielder, who now plies his trade with PSG.
Writing inThe Times, Rooney said: "Everyone talks about his tackling and energy but what surprised me was his quality on the ball — he always looked to play it forward and to your feet.
"After a month playing with him, I spoke to people at Manchester United saying he was good enough for them. I wasn't shocked when Paris Saint-Germain signed him."
