Rooney also emphasized the need for United to reinforce their midfield with a commanding presence to enhance their control in matches and push the team forward.
He said on the BBC: “I think they still need one or two more signings but I can see what Amorim is doing. It’s looking better for Man United and I think they will sneak into the top five. I hope they do and you never know.”
Rooney added: “I still would like to see them sign a solid midfield player who is going to help control games for them, but also build up play. I’d still like one more.
“I think Bruno, I’d like to see him pushed forward and that allows him to go forward and play forward more.”
Manchester United endured a disappointing campaign last season, ending up in 15th place without any silverware, which has placed immense expectations on manager Ruben Amorim to turn things around.
With over £200 million ($271.5m) invested in new signings during the summer transfer window, patience may run short if Amorim doesn’t produce results quickly.
Following a promising pre-season, United kick off their Premier League journey with a home clash against long-time rivals Arsenal this Sunday.
A loss to Mikel Arteta’s side could deepen the sense of unease that’s been lingering at Old Trafford.
