- Wayne Rooney has heavily criticised Manchester United players, accusing them of behaving like “selfish babies” and “throwing their toys out of the pram” to deflect blame following a 4-1 Champions League defeat against Como.
- Speaking on The United Stand podcast, Rooney urged club captain Bruno Fernandes and defender Lisandro Martinez to take responsibility for their own poor form rather than pointing fingers at management.
- The former striker warned that recent public outbursts, including Fernandes criticising manager Michael Carrick's tactics and Martinez targeting Jason Wilcox, threaten to rip the dressing room apart.
- Rooney claimed that the current squad lacks accountability and commitment, alleging that players care only about themselves rather than their team-mates, the fans, or the club's staff.
- In addition to reprimanding the squad, Rooney called on the Manchester United board to provide clear direction regarding the future of manager Michael Carrick amid growing scrutiny.
