Wayne Rooney slams ex-Sporting man: Doesn’t deserve the shirt | OneFootball

Wayne Rooney confessed to having lost faith in Ruben Amorim. With the former Sporting coach having a negative start to the season at the helm of Manchester United, pressure is mounting from fans and English football personalities for the Portuguese coach to be dismissed. There are already some names being mentioned as possible replacements to take his place at the club.

“You look at Manchester United and then you look at Crystal Palace and it seems brilliant. There's talent, fight, desire, crosses, shots... Everything you want to see, but United plays in the same system and you think: What is this?,” said the former English international to the BBC.

Following this, Wayne Rooney finds it strange that Ruben Amorim's system isn't working, considering the individual quality in Manchester United's squad: “The system works and we see teams winning things with this system. That midfield cannot compete in the Premier League. It's strange to say this when you have Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro, but they cannot play in the Premier League as a midfield duo. It doesn't work. The players know it, and as a coach, you have to adapt and change.”

In conclusion, the former Red Devils striker acknowledged the qualities of the former Sporting coach but believes his performances are destroying the club he knows: “Ruben Amorim is my age, a little younger. He is still young and will have a bright future, but this is not Manchester United. I don't recognize this club. I don't see the players fighting, I don't see desire, I don't see character, I don't see abilities, I don't see victories.”

“I know what I'm saying will add pressure and will go to the press, but I'm concerned about a club where I spent 13 years. I see players who don't deserve to wear that shirt. It's not acceptable. This should be a message to the owners,” concluded Wayne Rooney.
