Wayne Rooney blames his former club Manchester United for not putting in enough effort in Sunday’s 0-5 defeat to Liverpool. However, the current Derby County manager finds it too easy to put the blame on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Jamie Redknapp is also critical of United and describes the situation in the dressing room of the Red Devils as a ‘vacation camp’.
United received some criticism from Gary Neville and Sir Alex Ferguson after the ear washing at Old Trafford against Liverpool. Rooney now joins this list. “The match against Liverpool was not easy to watch,” said the former striker of the Red Devils in return for the Mirror. “I see too many players who are not ready to back down, who are not ready to defend and who are not willing to risk everything for the club. That is unacceptable.”
“There is a great deal of responsibility with the players,” Rooney continued. “They are world class players, international players and a club like United should be able to do better than this. The players have to look at themselves. It’s too easy to put all the blame on the players. manager, while they get paid a lot of money to do their job.” Rooney then defended Solskjaer and expects the United manager to battle to turn the lackluster results. “There is clearly pressure on Solskjaer, everyone can see that,” said the former United striker. “But I know Ole and he is a fighter. He will continue to do the right things, continue to believe in what he believes in and try to get more out of the players.”
Redknapp is also concerned about the lesser phase United are currently in. “Manchester United’s dressing room is like a holiday camp,” said Redknapp. The owners cannot allow the current situation to continue until the end of the season. The former midfielder of Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton, among others, does not understand that Solskjaer can stay on after last Sunday’s embarrassing defeat against Liverpool. Redknapp believes that ‘everything is collapsing at the club’ and believes a coaching change is needed to turn the tide at United and change the attitude of the players.
“They have bought time for themselves, but if you lose a few games against Tottenham Hotspur next weekend or after that, he can’t stay,” Redknapp said. “It’s difficult because Solskjaer is a respected person within the club. I’ve said before that firing Solskjaer will be like shooting Bambi. But sometimes you have to do what’s right for the team. He will do it himself. feeling that his job is no longer tenable. They have invested so much money and brought in great players, but they are still lagging behind the competition.”
“Now when you look at Manchester United as a team and as an organisation, the defeat to Liverpool didn’t surprise me at all,” Redknapp said in the statement.
