"Manchester United" fans pour their anger on Wayne Rooney after every unsuccessful match and want to see him on the bench. It is believed that Jose Mourinho allows the Englishman to play out of respect for the captain, but the Portuguese coach sternly refused to speak about any special privileges for the attacking player.
W. Rooney plays in the attacking midfielder position, where two excellent footballers - Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Juan Mata - can also play.
Today at 2:30 PM, the "Man Utd" team will face the champions "Leicester City" in the "Premier" League match. It seems that we can expect some surprises in this match from the "Red Devils" lineup.
When asked if the captain's status influences the decision not to substitute W. Rooney, J. Mourinho replied: "No, definitely not."
Wayne is the captain of the club. Players trust him and he trusts himself. It should not be forgotten that he represents the club as a good footballer and personality.
But in football, everyone is equal - if he has to sit on the bench, he will. If Wayne stays at home, it doesn't mean that I don't trust him and that there are any problems between us. We don't have any.
He is our captain, but he has no privileges and he is just like any other player on the team", - added the strategist.
