Former Manchester United captain, Wayne Rooney has lambasted the players, saying they lack heart and character, TrackNews Reports.
Rooney wonders how people expect players who, according to him, lack hunger and are motionless on the pitch, to win matches.
The DC United manager said this ahead of Manchester United’s clash with Liverpool on Monday night.
The Red Devils have started the season so poorly, losing their first two games embarrassingly to Brighton and Brentford.
“If you don’t run, if you don’t put in the effort, you can lose to any team. I have never seen Manchester United so lacking in those basic qualities. Their hammering by Brentford was hard to watch,” Rooney wrote in The Times.
The former England international said that he was not moved by the 4-0 defeat handed out to United by Brentford, adding that the manager, Erik ten Hag was right to call players out and talk about hunger.
“Ten Hag will be making a lot of demands to get a reaction out. But with this group, this has been happening for so long that changing their ways is going to take something drastic. They’re emotionless, there is no character, no heart,” he said
