Wayne Rooney doesn’t have his tongue in his pocket. Guest of the show The Overlapthe former striker named three Manchester United flops. “The previous recruitment was catastrophic, wasn’t it? They only brought in well-known names. Look at Lukaku, Zlatan, Pogba, they are good players, but they only brought in famous names and spent huge amounts of money. It’s going to take some time to overcome these mistakes. When you look at what has happened at Manchester United over the last ten years, some players have been absolutely manhandled. Now that they have obtained some results, we can see a gradual return of confidence. The coach also needed these results.
He added: “we feel that he has more confidence in himself. Their condition is gradually improving, there has clearly been an improvement. I think we’re seeing progress and players getting to know each other better. I would like to see Bruno Fernandes higher up the pitch. I would love to see that. January will be interesting to see if they can convince players to come and give them that little boost needed to try to qualify for Europe or make the top four or five in the Champions League. We are gradually starting to see better recruits. You have to be realistic and ask yourself: “Will they win the championship?” No, they won’t. Is it possible to get into the top four or five? We are seeing a gradual improvement.” Rooney sees change.
