Man United legend lashes current players for behaving 'like babies'
One of the English club's greatest ever players takes aim at the current cohort after skipper Bruno Fernandes's controversial criticism of manager Michael Carrick.
Former Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney has criticized the club's current players, describing them as "selfish" and behaving like "babies." This statement came after captain Bruno Fernandes questioned manager Michael Carrick's tactics following a 4-1 loss to Como in the Champions League. Rooney expressed his concerns on the United Stand podcast, stating that the players are not taking responsibility for their performance or their actions.
He believes that the players are more focused on their own interests rather than the team's success, and when things don't go their way, they deflect blame onto others. Rooney's comments echo the growing frustration within the squad, with defender Lisandro Martinez also criticizing the club's hierarchy earlier in the month for not investing enough to help the team compete at the highest level.
Despite Carrick's interim role as manager, United is currently winless in seven matches across all competitions, sitting 20th in the Champions League standings and 13th in the Premier League.
