Derby County’s current manager Wayne Rooney offended former Man Utd club for not putting in enough effort in their 5-0 defeat to Liverpool last weekend.
What did Wayne Rooney say?
Wayne Rooney said it was tough to watch Man Utd run back from their opponents, but he is most concerned about too many players not wanting to run back, not wanting to defend and not wanting to put everything on the line for this club. Rooney called the show unacceptable because he added criticism of Solskjaer’s people to the chorus.
Wayne Rooney told reporters that Liverpool’s game was not easy to watch. Rooney sees too many players unwilling to run backwards, unwilling to defend and not wanting to put everything on the line for this club, and this is not acceptable. According to Wayne Rooney, these players should be hurting, you need to feel when you lose games how it hurts you.
These players have a great responsibility. They are world class players, international players and a club like Man Utd needs more. Players must question themselves. It’s all too easy for a manager to take the whole club when these players are paid big bucks to get the job done, and Rooney doesn’t think they are doing it well enough.
Wayne Rooney also defended the Man Utd boss as one who will fight to the end to turn his team’s fortunes. Rooney said that it is obvious that there is pressure on Solskjær – everyone can see it. But Rooney knows Solskjær and he is a fighter. Ole will continue to do the right thing, believe in what he believes in, and try to get more out of these players.
Cruel grades
Former Man Utd players and coaches were brutal in their assessment of the club this season when Wayne joined Ferguson and Neville in criticizing the club this month. The pressure registered with the players; The Rashford striker admitted on Wednesday that he felt uncomfortable in the wake of Liverpool’s loss.
