'A lot of players need to leave' - Wayne Rooney gives brutally honest verdict on Ruben Amorim's Man Utd squad

Europa League

Real Sociedad

Manchester United

<p>The United legend came to Ruben Amorim's defence amid the club's nightmare journey in the 2024/25 Premier League campaign. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-players-fighting-futures-ruben-amorim-warns-summer-departures-inevitable/blt5f7ef07a0a07ac30" target="_blank">Rooney called for a major overhauling of the current squad in the summer transfer window</a> as he claimed that several players must leave the team before the next season starts. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Amorim, who inherited an underperforming squad from Erik ten Hag in November, has not enjoyed much success in the league. In 16 Premier League outings under the Portuguese coach, the English giants have won only five and are currently 14th on the points table. The Red Devils also saw out-of-favour stars like Marcus Rashford and Antony leave the club on loan spells in the January transfer window. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking on <a href="https://x.com/BBCMOTD/status/1896231290543673545" target="_blank"><em>BBC MOTD</em></a>, the former England captain said: "Listen, I think it's been a difficult start of course with results and I think what he's trying to do is. We've seen players going out on loan and I think there's a lot of players who need to leave the football club and I think he's slowly trying to do that.</p><p>"Really, his time will start next season. I think you have to find a way to get through this season. The FA Cup is still a chance to win a trophy. I think big changes on and off the pitch at Man Utd and from next season we'll start to see real changes." </p>

WHAT WAYNE ROONEY SAID

<p>After their FA Cup fifth-round clash against Fulham on Sunday, the Red Devils will be back in action on March 6 as they take on Real Sociedad in the first leg of their Europa League round of 16 fixture. </p>
