Ex-Sporting star in trouble, Man United legend doubts Amorim

Wayne Rooney has admitted to losing hope in Ruben Amorim . After the former Sporting coach has had a poor start to the season at Manchester United , several fans and distinguished figures in English football are calling for the Portuguese coach's dismissal, who already has names lined up to succeed him in his position .

Wayne Rooney: "Amorim's system? It doesn't work. The players know that"

"You look at Manchester United and then you look at Crystal Palace and it looks brilliant. There's talent, fight, desire, crosses, shots... Everything you want to see, but United play in the same system and you think: What is this? ", said the former English international to the BBC.

Next, Wayne Rooney finds it strange that Ruben Amorim's system doesn't work, considering the individual quality in Manchester United's squad: "The system works and we see teams winning things with this system. That midfield can't compete in the Premier League. It's strange to say this when you have Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro , but they can't play in the Premier League as a midfield duo. It doesn't work. The players know this and as a coach you have to adapt and change".

Wayne Rooney: "This is not Manchester United. I don't recognize this club"

In conclusion, the former striker of the red devils recognized qualities in the former coach of Sporting , but believes that his performances are destroying the club he knows: " Ruben Amorim is my age, a little younger. He is still young and will have a bright future, but this is not Manchester United . I don't recognize this club. I don't see the players fighting, I don't see desire, I don't see character, I don't see abilities, I don't see victories".

"I know that what I say will serve as pressure and will go to the press, but I am worried about a club where I was for 13 years. I see players who don't deserve to wear that shirt. It's not acceptable . This should be a message to the owners", concluded Wayne Rooney.
