Every Manchester Unitedās fan is having a rough time due to the teamās beginning of the 2022-23 Premier League season. Erik ten Hag was supposed to change the cubās mentality, but unfortunately the Dutch manager has not been able to do it and he has a tough task to do this semester.
This situation is hurting those who love Manchester United, even the former players. Now, one of the biggest icons in the teamās history has revealed which are the main problems, for him, that are causing this bad moment and how he thinks itcould be fixed.
Wayne Rooney attacks Cristiano Ronaldo and thinks he should not be in Manchester Unitedās starting XI
Wayne Rooney is one of the biggest icons for Manchester United in its history. His words are always heard by the fans as he wants the best for his former club, but nowadays he thinks that the players do not have his same thought.
āIf I was in Ten Hagās position my main concern would be getting energy on the pitch, and Unitedās failure to recruit a number nine means they relied on Ronaldo against Brentford, even though he hadnāt trained a lot with the team,ā said Wayne Rooney in press conference. āHe looked like he needs time to get match fit. Ten Hag needs energy from his side and that may mean dropping Ronaldo.ā
DC Unitedās coach also judged the rest of Manchester Unitedās players.āI have never seen Manchester United so lacking in those basic qualities. Their hammering by Brentford was hard to watch. If that had happened to any of the United teams I played for, I think fans, journalists and every other team in the country would have been shocked, but people werenāt with this side.ā
