Manchester City Players No Longer Have Faith In One Another – Rooney

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney has come out to blast Manchester City for their naivety during their collapse against Real Madrid. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Manchester City players have been known for their strong belief and confidence over the years, but they currently play with a lack of belief in one another.

Rooney added that the excuses must stop too because Real Madrid beat them without their injured defenders.

His words, “I think there was a lot of naivety from Manchester City – especially later in the game. For me, I think Manchester City’s players over the last few years you have seen a strong belief and confidence. The players tonight were looking round at each other, almost with a lack of belief in each other, and I think that is a worry for Guardiola. Real Madrid have come here without any of their back four and I don’t think we have heard Carlo Ancelotti talk about that once.

When you are 2-1 up against Real Madrid with a game coming up at the Bernabeu, you have to say ‘let’s be sensible’, let them have the ball in their half, reset.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
