| Rooney after their 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace |
United were keen on keeping their best players at the club extending the contracts of Januzaj last October and now Rooney this February. David Moyes responded after their 2-0 victory "We thoroughly deserved it. Wayne's finish was exquisite". He also added saying "We're building a new team and the best players will stay".
According to the Sun "United are convinced that have won the £25 million battle for Germany’s Ilkay Gündogan." which also heated up the chances of Kroos joining United as Moyes himself scouted him during Bayern's 2-0 Champions League victory over Arsenal at Emirates this mid-week.
Moyes also added saying "I can't tell you the amount of phone calls I've had from top players around the world who want to play for Manchester United." and with big names already being linked with United we can expect some new faces this summer at Old Trafford.
