Wayne Rooney attacks Cristiano Ronaldo and thinks he should not be in Manchester United’s starting XI

“If I was in Ten Hag’s position my main concern would be getting energy on the pitch, and United’s failure to recruit a number nine means they relied on Ronaldo against Brentford, even though he hadn’t trained a lot with the team,” said Wayne Rooney in press conference. “He looked like he needs time to get match fit. Ten Hag needs energy from his side and that may mean dropping Ronaldo.”

DC United’s coach also judged the rest of Manchester United’s players.“I 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 weren’t with this side.”
