Wayne Rooney’s exclusive interview reveals that Manchester United players must demonstrate increased accountability and resilience while working under Erik ten Hag.
Manchester, England – Wayne Rooney has called on Manchester United’s players to display more “character and responsibility” as they prepare to face Everton. Speaking as a guest pundit on TNT Sports, Rooney highlighted the team’s pressing tactics as an area that needs improvement.
Rooney believes that United’s players are pressing as individuals rather than as a cohesive unit, unlike their rivals Manchester City who excel in this aspect of the game. He suggests that this lack of collective pressing makes it difficult for United to maintain consistency. While manager Erik ten Hag has faced criticism, Rooney insists that the players must take more accountability.
