🔥 Wayne Rooney TEARS into Manchester United players: “NOT FIT TO WEAR THE SHIRT!”
This is as critical as I’ve ever seen Rooney about his former club. He’s raging, and rightly so. Michael Carrick is a Manchester United legend and a close friend of Rooney’s, so this one clearly hits a little harder than usual.
On Stick to United with @markgoldbridge, he went straight for the players who love the spotlight when things are good but disappear the second it gets tough, like Bruno, Martinez, Rashford and the rest:
“Where’s Rashford now? Things get tough, where’s Rashford? You need to play through the pain barrier. You need to be ready, to give everything for the club, and they’re not doing that.”
He didn’t stop there. After that abysmal performance against Bournemouth, Rooney said he was pleased when the fans stopped clapping Carrick off and turned their fury on the players:
“I was really pleased when they switched from clapping Michael off the pitch, and then they’ve turned on them players. They’re not fit to wear that shirt at the minute. I don’t think they ever will be. The least you can do is work and show that it means something and that you care.”
Rooney said the five-year-olds he coaches understand something these multi-millionaires don’t: You run. You chase. You fight for every ball. This squad can’t even manage the basics!
Rooney finished by expressing frustration that the same players are doing it again to another manager, and will almost certainly get away with it:
“Honestly, watching it’s just so annoying and frustrating and disappointing that these players are gonna get away with it again.”
Ruthless from Rooney. He is speaking for the fans here. They know Carrick hasn’t been good enough, but he’s a club legend who cares deeply about Manchester United and is giving his all.
The players have given up. They don’t even run, and that is unforgivable! The fans will back you no matter what if you give your best, but they will never accept what these players are doing.
Right now these players are a disgrace to the shirt, to the badge, and to everything Manchester United is supposed to stand for.

🚨WATCH THIS:
@SkyKaveh absolutely DESTROYS Sir Jim Ratcliffe LIVE on @SkySportsNews last night:
“I’m going to tell you who’s to blame for this situation at the moment. The person to blame is Jim Ratcliffe.
He bought the club almost three years ago. He bought 29% of it when the Glazer family put the club up for sale. He didn’t buy the whole club; he only bought 29% of it.
And by buying 29%, it meant that the Glazers stayed in place and Jim Ratcliffe got to run the football operations.”
That’s the original sin. He didn’t clean house. He just propped up the Glazers.
Then the arrogance of the man who thought he knew better:
“He’s come in and he’s said, ‘I know better than anyone else how to run this club. We’re going to do things my way.’ And look what it’s turned out to be over the past two and a half years.”
The managerial mess followed immediately:
“First of all, he said, ‘I’m going to back Erik ten Hag. We’ve been chopping and changing managers too much.’ Then he went off and started meeting Thomas Tuchel and any other manager who was available behind Erik ten Hag’s back.”
“When they couldn’t find somebody else, they gave Ten Hag a new contract and money to spend. A couple of games later, Ten Hag loses his job.”
“In the middle of the season, they beg Ruben Amorim to come to United. He doesn’t even want to go there in the middle of the season; he wants to wait until the summer.
They pay a fortune to get him, even though he plays three at the back, a totally different kind of football.”
“Dan Ashworth doesn’t want him. Dan Ashworth leaves, Ruben Amorim comes in, and they go all in on Ruben Amorim. That doesn’t work out. They get rid of him.”
“They bring in Carrick as an interim. Okay, results are better. Then they give him the full-time job.”
And then the transfer policy that locked the club into mediocrity:
“In the meantime, Ratcliffe has come in and said, ‘We’re going to do things my way. No player is going to get paid 250, 300 grand a week here anymore. That’s not going to happen. We’re not going to sign any players for more than 60, 70 million pounds.’
So Mateus Fernandes, Elliot Anderson, Harry Kane, Declan Rice, all these players, we ain’t going to be signing them.
And also, we’re only going to be signing players with Premier League experience.
And we’re going to sign forwards one window, then the following summer we’re just going to sign midfielders, then next summer we’re just going to sign defenders.’
So this is Jim Ratcliffe’s way of doing things. So he is to blame for this situation.”

£1.012 billion taken from Manchester United, stolen directly from the club, for the Glazer debt saddled on the club. £170 million paid out in dividends.
Around £42m paid every year since the 2005 Glazer leveraged buyout - a process that is now illegal - to service their debt.

"Sell United and f*k off home" sing MUFC fans, the only good thing about the club right now.
And it's right. The Glazers have made their money many times over for 21 years. Fans never wanted it and that takeover should never have been allowed. Do the right thing: sell up and go.

Bruno Fernandes is not, and was never, the problem. He was one of the few things stopping this from happening to Manchester United, but he couldn't do it forever. This is a reminder of how bad the club would be & will be without him. Too many have taken him for granted.

Don’t be distracted by the media or clowns going in on Bruno Fernandes. These same cretins ignored all his antics when pushing for him to win the player of the year awards last season, they want to distract you for the only real big issue at Man Utd, the owners. Bruno and Lisandro in the last week have spoken one language, facts, attacking them only makes you a Glazers supporter, stop it.

Glazers. Ineos. Wilcox. Berrada. Please get fucked out of this football club.

Real talk 🗣️
Manchester United’s owners have given Michael Carrick no chance this season.
How can a club the size of Man Utd’s go into a Champions League season without investing in the back four and with one recognised striker.
Arsenal have the best defence in Europe and still invested heavily in the summer to strengthen.
It’s doesn’t matter who the manager is at United, while INEOS and the Glazers are running the club into the ground.

Our young can't even go to college in cities like Coventry anymore because of vile fucks like this carrying weapons.

Bruno discourse this season is insane.
I’ve never seen a player whose standards are so high that anything short of a 10/10 performance every week makes people on this app treat him like he’s barely a footballer. That’s how far he is above his peers.
🚨🗣️ - James Maddison when asked who the best Premier League player is:
“I'm going to base it on last season and I'm going to say Bruno Fernandes.
“He has so many qualities. He plays with NO FEAR. He always wants to have the ball and try things, even if he loses it.
“He's always decisive, always available; he's a player I LOVE to watch.” [Sky]
