Wayne Rooney thinks former side Manchester United look “lost” and “scared” on the pitch and that “10 to 15 players need to leave the club”.
Fallen giants United are a lowly 14th in the Premier League, with the likes of Brentford, Bournemouth, Brighton and Nottingham Forest all above them in English football’s topflight.
United have won just nine out of 28 league games so far this season and have been knocked out of both domestic cup competitions, with their hopes of winning any silverware this term hanging yesterday’s Europa League last 16 second-leg tie against Real Sociedad at Old Trafford.
A hoped for upturn in results since Ruben Amorim replaced the sacked Erik ten Hag as manager has so far failed to materialise, with the Portuguese coach presiding over a mere five wins from 17 Premier League fixtures.
United great Rooney, the club’s record goalscorer, was blunt when asked on the Stick to Football podcast if there was any hope of a resurgence with the current squad. “No, I don’t think so,” he said. “They look lost. I think they look scared and just scared to make a mistake.
