Manchester United's results have shocked the dressing room, who initially believed they were strong! Rooney lashes out, saying neither the players nor the coach deserve to stay.

Manchester United’s worst-ever start to a season reportedly shocked the players in the dressing room, who entered preseason training with high hopes, confident they could compete with the Premier League’s elite. Yet, in the first six games, the team has suffered three defeats, and their victories over Burnley and Chelsea were secured only through late penalties and playing against opponents who were down to ten men from early on.

After spending £250 million to sign seven players, Amolin also enjoyed a harmonious and pleasant preseason training camp in Chicago this summer, with Manchester United players genuinely hopeful for a successful season.

Amolin shares this sentiment, boldly claiming he no longer worries about losing before matches. Meanwhile, the players believe that securing a Champions League spot is uncertain, but a place in the Europa League should be guaranteed. Currently, Manchester United sits 14th in the Premier League, slightly better than last season but still far from acceptable.

Insiders from the dressing room confirmed that after the heavy 1-3 loss to Brentford last Saturday, the entire squad’s morale plummeted, even worse than during Ten Hag’s tenure. Various rumors about head coach Ruben Amolin surfaced on social media, with reports suggesting the board summoned him to a meeting demanding tactical changes. It is said that the 40-year-old Portuguese coach was left speechless and even suffered from insomnia.

However, Manchester United denied the rumors that Amolin was called in for discussions on Saturday night and firmly stated there are no current plans to change the manager. Nevertheless, speculation continues to pour in, with candidates like Oliver Glasner from Crystal Palace, Andoni Iraola from Bournemouth, and Fabian Helzel from Brighton all reportedly on the shortlist.

Manchester United legend Rooney believes the fault lies not only with Amolin but also with the players. “I just don’t understand what’s going on. I’ve been a coach myself, though without great success, so I get some of the reasons. Amolin is my age and still a young coach. I’m sure he has a long future ahead, but the situation at Manchester United is not what it should be. Honestly, I hope he can turn things around and succeed. But based on what I’ve seen, frankly, I’ve lost faith in it all.”

Rooney thinks problems exist throughout the club. “I don’t recognize this as Manchester United. I don’t see players fighting, no fighting spirit, nor a desire to win. When I go to matches, I expect the team to lose or at best get a point. This club has lost its soul and needs a new source of energy and vitality. Manchester United needs something to rekindle its spark. What’s going on here? It’s not entirely the coach’s fault. The players don’t deserve to wear that shirt, and that’s very uncomfortable to witness.”

At the start of the season, Manchester United still has time and room to improve, sitting just 4 points behind the top four. However, the Red Devils are only 3 points above the relegation zone. This Saturday, Manchester United will return home to face newly promoted Sunderland, who currently rank 5th with 11 points—4 more than United and a goal difference advantage of 7. This means even if Amolin’s team wins, they will still trail behind Sunderland.

Before the international break last October, Manchester United had lost 3 of 7 league games and won only 2. Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Inflex have already started considering sacking Ten Hag. If United do not perform well against Sunderland, Amolin’s poor start this season will surpass last year’s.

Amolin says he still believes he can make Manchester United competitive again, but every upcoming match will be a tough battle. After facing the fierce “Black Cats” Sunderland, United’s next opponents are Liverpool, Brighton, Nottingham Forest, and Tottenham.

Last season, under Amolin’s leadership, Manchester United managed a commendable 2-2 draw away at Liverpool. However, the Red Devils have not conquered Anfield for nearly a decade; their last win there was during Van Gaal’s tenure.

At the same time, last season Manchester United failed to win at home against Brighton and lost away matches at Nottingham Forest and Tottenham. This means that for the struggling Red Devils, turning around their current poor form will be anything but easy, especially given the low morale in the dressing room.
