Over the course of eight days, "Manchester United" club lost three times - both the head coach Jose Mourinho and his troops were showered with criticism from all sides.
The team captain Wayne Rooney also started receiving sharp words. "Daily Mail" reviewers Jamie Redknapp, Martin Keown, and Chris Sutton believe that the Englishman's days are numbered.
"I have said many times - I do not understand why Rooney is forced to play it safe," said Redknapp. - Perhaps he feels that he no longer has the speed to play in attack, but in my opinion, he should either play there or not play at all.
Mourinho needs to put players in their best positions, but at the moment this is not happening because he has many similar players. It will be interesting to see if he can do this without upsetting one of the big players."
"If Pep Guardiola were the manager of Man Utd, Rooney would immediately be placed on the bench," Sutton admitted. - Wayne is a problem for both Mourinho and England national team strategist Sam Allardyce.
In simpler terms, there are better players than him in both the club and the national team. Mourinho must have the courage to no longer let Rooney onto the field.
"United" lacks speed, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is not such a striker, and Rooney is no longer a number 10. Instead of him, I would let the best player in Germany last year - Henrikh Mkhitaryan, play, and in the national team - Dele Alli.
It's simple - Rooney hinders both teams, all the problems point to him. If you don't let him play, you have many more options. Wayne's days are numbered."
