Man United Look ‘Lost’ And ‘Scared’ On The Pitch – Rooney

Wayne Rooney has reportedly claimed his former club, Manchester United look lost and scared on the pitch and that “10 to 15 players need to leave the club.”

With just nine wins out of 28 games this season, the team is currently sagging in 14th place in the Premier League.

This includes five of their last 17 league games under Ruben Amorim, who took over as manager after Erik ten Hag was fired, during which they have lost eight games.

According to The Independent, Rooney – the club’s record goalscorer – said on Stick to Football, when questioned if there was a way back with the current crop of players.

“No, I don’t think so. They look lost. I think they look scared and just scared to make a mistake.

“I do think Bruno (Fernandes) is the one who keeps producing, he annoys you at times as well, but he’s the one who keeps producing. But it needs massive changes to the squad. I think 10 to 15 players need to leave the club.

“Obviously they can’t do that, but I think there is a mentality there where it’s not going right. This player will pass it on to him, he’ll pass it on to him and no one is taking responsibility.”

“I think there is just a culture there now where it’s too easy for them to lose games and then you see them coming out (with), ‘on to the next one’ and all this rubbish.

“You’re like ‘just show it on the pitch – show some character and fight on the pitch’.
