I’m Just Hearing About The Rumors Linking Josef Martinez To Birmingham City – Rooney

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney has come out to play down talk of Lionel Messi’s former Inter Miami team-mate, Josef Martinez joining Birmingham City’s ambitious project. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he is just hearing about the rumors for the first time, and even if he knows the player in question, nothing has been discussed about him.

Rooney added that he definitely sits down with the recruiting team from time to time, and plans are in place to improve the squad.

His words, “My honest answer is that’s the first I’ve heard. Obviously I have sat down with the recruiting team and there are plans in place. I know him very well as a player, obviously playing in the MLS but that’s the first I’ve heard of it.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
