Man Utd legend says he has ‘no faith’ Amorim will turn things around and claims some players ‘don’t deserve to wear the shirt’ | OneFootball

Former Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney has ripped into Ruben Amorim and his side following their latest defeat, admitting he has “no faith” in the United boss to turn things around.

United were beaten 3-1 by Brentford on Saturday and sit 14th in the Premier League after six games played.

And Rooney, who won five Premier League titles with the club, says he is not confident of things improving under the current boss.

“It’s just not good enough, from the managers, the coaches, from the players, it’s not good enough,” he said on The Wayne Rooney Show. “I don’t know what’s going on.

“I’ve tried my hand at management, and it didn’t work out too well, so I get it.

“Ruben Amorim is my age, a bit younger, he’s still a young manager. I’m sure he has a great future. But what is going on at Man United? I don’t recognise the whole football club.

“I honestly hope he can turn it round and he does. But if you’re saying to me, ‘do you believe he will?’, then, after everything I’ve seen, honestly, I’ve got no faith in it.”

Rooney was keen to stress that the problems go beyond Amorim, however, also criticising the players and the ownership.

“This isn’t all from management,” Rooney continued.

“I’m seeing players that don’t deserve to wear the shirt, and it hurts. When you have played for the club and care about it, this is not acceptable what is going on.

“Man United haven’t won back to back games (since January). I think there needs to be a clear message from the owners, whether that’s the Glazers, or that’s (Jim) Ratcliffe, there needs to be a clear message on where the club is going, because at the minute, we’re all sitting here waiting for it to crumble.

“It’s not even just results on the pitch. It’s everything about the club that needs fixing – Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos have walked into a real challenge.

“We’re seeing staff members getting sacked after 20, 30 years who are very important people to that football club.

“The soul has gone from the club. It needs a new engine, a new lease of life. It needs something to kickstart that football club.”
