Totally embarassing from Rooney to call out Rashford for not ‘playing through the pain’.
Does he not recall Rashford putting his own back on the line for almost 2 years straight for us? Oh you didn’t care then did you?
Are players not allowed to be injured now? Or is it banned?
🔥 Wayne Rooney TEARS into Manchester United players: “NOT FIT TO WEAR THE SHIRT!”
This is as critical as I’ve ever seen Rooney about his former club. He’s raging, and rightly so. Michael Carrick is a Manchester United legend and a close friend of Rooney’s, so this one clearly hits a little harder than usual.
On Stick to United with @markgoldbridge, he went straight for the players who love the spotlight when things are good but disappear the second it gets tough, like Bruno, Martinez, Rashford and the rest:
“Where’s Rashford now? Things get tough, where’s Rashford? You need to play through the pain barrier. You need to be ready, to give everything for the club, and they’re not doing that.”
He didn’t stop there. After that abysmal performance against Bournemouth, Rooney said he was pleased when the fans stopped clapping Carrick off and turned their fury on the players:
“I was really pleased when they switched from clapping Michael off the pitch, and then they’ve turned on them players. They’re not fit to wear that shirt at the minute. I don’t think they ever will be. The least you can do is work and show that it means something and that you care.”
Rooney said the five-year-olds he coaches understand something these multi-millionaires don’t: You run. You chase. You fight for every ball. This squad can’t even manage the basics!
Rooney finished by expressing frustration that the same players are doing it again to another manager, and will almost certainly get away with it:
“Honestly, watching it’s just so annoying and frustrating and disappointing that these players are gonna get away with it again.”
Ruthless from Rooney. He is speaking for the fans here. They know Carrick hasn’t been good enough, but he’s a club legend who cares deeply about Manchester United and is giving his all.
The players have given up. They don’t even run, and that is unforgivable! The fans will back you no matter what if you give your best, but they will never accept what these players are doing.
Right now these players are a disgrace to the shirt, to the badge, and to everything Manchester United is supposed to stand for.

I’m very surprised that a coach who got sacked from Spurs, Fenerbahce and Roma (the side that we are literally facing) isn’t coaching the team well

One hill I'm ready to die on is that a lot of you have very strong opinions on players you actually never watch(ed).
Victor Lindelof suddenly turned into a ball-playing CB after leaving Man United 😭😭
They really do relax once they get here... teapawt.org/MajesticZidane/status/…

Man United fans have both a 'saviour complex' and a 'scapegoat issue':
- Every problem is because of one player/manager.
- Every issue is solved by one signing.
This has been going on for 10+ years btw, long before Bruno and looks like it'll continue long after.

🚨🚨| OFFICIAL: Pro Ref has 𝐀𝐏𝐎𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐃 to Manchester United after acknowledging a VAR error allowed Haaland's goal to stand at Old Trafford. 😬🏴
"Following the incident in the 60th minute of Sunday's Premier League fixture between Manchester United and Manchester City at Old Trafford, we can provide clarification regarding Erling Haaland's awarded goal.
"The on-field decision was offside against Erling Haaland - that was checked by VAR and he was found to be in an onside position.
"In the same attack, it was established that Enzo Fernandez did not play the ball and therefore that makes any offside offence subjective, however, on this occasion, the VAR did not recognise the likely impact of his position and should have recommended an on-field review.
"Contact has been made with Manchester United this evening to acknowledge what we deem is an error of judgement. A review of the incident will take place. Pro Ref acknowledge and make a statement of apology."
