Rooney Expresses No Faith in Man Utd Manager Amorim Amid Poor Premier League Standing

Wayne Rooney, Manchester United's all-time leading goalscorer, expressed deep concerns about the club’s current state under manager Ruben Amorim, stating he has "no faith" in Amorim's ability to improve results amidst a poor run of form. Rooney described the team as "broken" and lamented the loss of the club's soul, criticizing the lack of fight, character, and desire among players, some of whom he believes "don’t deserve to wear the shirt." Despite a significant summer investment and backing from the club’s board, United languishes near the bottom of the Premier League table, with no back-to-back wins under Amorim and an embarrassing exit from the Carabao Cup. Rooney urged the club’s owners, including the Glazers and minority stakeholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe, to clarify the club’s future direction and initiate major changes to restore Manchester United's identity and competitiveness. The Portuguese coach, appointed last November after success in Portugal, remains supported by the board but faces mounting skepticism over his tactics and leadership. Rooney's critique highlights a collective crisis, calling for a new energy and decisive action to revive the historic club.
