“Manchester United” legend Wayne Rooney defended current “Red Devils” manager Erik ten Hag.

The Manchester club is going through a very tough season, and criticism is aimed directly at the team's coach. However, W. Rooney believes that the players themselves should take responsibility.

“It's the nature of the job for the coach and we always have to accept that we will feel pressure. When I arrived at Birmingham City, I knew that, and I have no doubt that Erik ten Hag knows it too.

The season is not going as they hoped, but the players themselves must take responsibility. I know a lot of Manchester United players and some of them are playing below their abilities.

In the end, all eyes are on the coach and we have to accept that. Ten Hag will definitely face criticism, but the players could also do a much better job,” said W. Rooney.
