Wayne Rooney backs former Sporting player for success, only time will tell | OneFootball

Wayne Rooney came to the defense of a former Sporting member who has yet to impress since arriving in the Premier League

Wayne Rooney defended Ruben Amorim. The former Manchester United striker believes that the ex-Sporting coach is still a "very good young manager" and hopes he can succeed, after looking at the 2-0 win over Sunderland at Old Trafford.

“The result against Sunderland was important, but consistency is needed. They need to win four, five, six, or seven games in a row. That’s what makes you climb up the table,” began the former England international.

Next, Wayne Rooney had the opportunity to talk about Ruben Amorim who, despite the negative results, he believes is a coach with a great future ahead: “Only time will tell if Amorim is the right manager for Manchester United. I hope so, Amorim is a young manager with quality, the results haven’t shown that, but he’s certainly doing everything to turn things around. I hope he manages to do it.”

Asked about the absence of a strong figure in the Manchester United team, the former Red Devils legend did not seem worried, as he considers it a current problem in football: “Many teams are in that position. Football has changed a lot since my time. There aren’t many leaders in world football. Society has changed as well.”

Ruben Amorim’s next match with Manchester United will be against Liverpool. The English football classic is scheduled for next Sunday, October 19, at 4:30 pm. The match will be played at Old Trafford and will count for the eighth round of the Premier League.
