Wayne Rooney Warns Manchester United Manager Ruben Amorim After Poor Season Start

Wayne Rooney, former Manchester United striker, has expressed serious concerns about the club's slow start to the 2025/26 Premier League season under manager Ruben Amorim, emphasizing that there are no excuses left and urgent results are needed. After a frustrating 1-1 draw against Fulham, Rooney highlighted ongoing issues such as players being shuffled into multiple positions, a lack of defensive solidity, and the reemergence of mistakes reminiscent of last season. Despite new signings like Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, and Bryan Mbeumo, the team has only managed one point from their first two games, sparking doubts among fans about Amorim’s ability to turn the situation around. Rooney stressed that the pressure on Amorim will mount if results do not improve by October and November, warning that the club needs to start the season strongly and maintain cohesion. Amorim himself acknowledged poor game management after the Fulham draw, but Rooney insists the manager must take full responsibility and deliver tangible success soon. The former striker’s commentary reflects a growing impatience with the team's lack of progress and the need for immediate improvement.
