Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney has come out to say that things were never as bad under former MUFC boss, David Moyes as they are with Erik ten Hag. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the team finished 7th under David Moyes, and it was not even as bad as things are now for the Scottish manager to lose his job.
Rooney added that now is the time for MUFC players to show their worth ahead of the FA Cup final.
His words, “They’ve obviously got some difficult games coming up, and then they’ve got the FA Cup Final. So for me as a player, now you need to show where you want to play for this football club, and you’ve got a big game to end the season against Manchester City, but that has to start from today. You can’t just turn it on in an FA Cup final. So it has to start from today and go on up until our final.
We finished seventh under David Moyes when I was here. I know that Moyes lost his job, but it never, ever felt as bad as what it is now.”
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, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
