Although a week has passed since Manchester United lost to Liverpool, it is still a hot topic of discussion among fans, and recently the Manchester United legend against Rooney commented on the performance of Manchester United in an interview, he said that the main problem of Manchester United is that the players are not active in defending, which is the main reason for the team's loss, and the players need to be responsible. At the same time he said Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was doing the right thing and he would unleash the potential of the players. Without further ado, let's see what Rooney has to say!
Rooney said: "Many of Manchester United's players are world-class stars, internationals, and the requirements like Manchester United will be higher. I've seen too many players who don't want to go back to defense, who don't want to play defensive, who don't want to give everything for the team, and I think that's unacceptable. Are you saying it's the coach or the player's fault? I don't know, you have to ask the players, you can't blame the coaches, the players are paid a lot of money, but I think they don't do a good job. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been under a lot of pressure lately, but I know he's a fighter and he's going to keep doing the right thing and then trying to unleash the potential of his players. 】
Rooney was supporting Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who criticized the players' performance. Honestly, the players do have problems, and many players are really not active in defending. Still, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seems to have problems. For example, he let Greenwood start, everyone knows that Ronaldo's defense is not active enough, and he is on a Greenwood that is also not active enough to defend, and Greenwood also occupies a lot of ball and shooting rights, in such a game, on such a player will make the team very difficult!
Of course, after seeing Rooney's remarks, I wonder what Mourinho thinks? Previously, when Mourinho was coaching Manchester United, he asked Marcus Rashford, Martial and others to return to defense, and as a result, many celebrities mocked Mourinho for wasting the talent of offensive players, and now Manchester United celebrities have criticized players for not returning to defense, I don't know if this is a double standard? However, I personally think that in modern football, it is very normal for the striker to defend, look at Liverpool's three strikers, even if salah's level of forwards are still defending, and very positive, this is the real modern striker!
