BREAKING: Wayne Rooney Slams Manchester United’s Collapse—Calls Current Squad “Lost and Directionless”

Manchester United’s downward spiral reached a new low this weekend as they suffered a 2-0 defeat to West Ham at Old Trafford, plunging them to 16th in the Premier League standings.  The loss has intensified scrutiny on manager Ruben Amorim and the team’s overall performance.

Club legend Wayne Rooney did not mince words in his assessment of the team’s current state. “This Premier League season is NOT for Manchester United—not with this mess,” Rooney stated. “I see a squad that looks completely lost on the pitch, and he, of all people, was the worst out there. No direction, no fire, just chaos. It’s an absolute disgrace to see United sitting 16th on the table.”

The match against West Ham highlighted United’s ongoing struggles. Despite fielding a strong lineup, the team failed to capitalize on early opportunities. West Ham’s Tomas Soucek opened the scoring in the 27th minute, followed by Jarrod Bowen’s goal in the second half, sealing United’s fate. 

Midfielder Manuel Ugarte faced significant criticism for his performance, particularly for his error leading to Bowen’s goal. Youngster Kobbie Mainoo also struggled to make an impact, while Amad Diallo was noted as the sole bright spot in an otherwise lackluster team display. 

The defeat marks United’s sixth consecutive league match without a win, raising concerns about the team’s direction under Amorim’s leadership. With only two games remaining in the season, the club faces the grim prospect of its worst Premier League finish.

As the season nears its conclusion, the pressure mounts on Manchester United to address the deep-rooted issues plaguing the squad. Fans and former players alike are calling for significant changes to restore the club’s former glory.
