“Nails” Rooney on United players: “They play the injured, but they are not”

Statements that will be discussed in particular by Wayne Rooney!

The former Manchester United great spoke after the Red Devils’ defeat to Arsenal, stressing that there are players which make the wounded, but without beingin order to appear fresh both in the FA Cup final with City, and in the Euros in the summer.

“I’ve said it a few weeks ago, players need to look at themselves. When you have your coach during an interview and he tells you that the mindset is not right. This is a huge insult. If I saw my coach say that, there’s no way I’d leave it until the end of the season. I feel some players are trying to get to the end of the season, so I understand him.

As I look at the injuries, some of these players can play. Yes, 100%. It’s easy, there’s a European Championship coming up, an FA Cup final – it’s easy for the players, because they think ‘I’ll stay out for a bit and come back for the FA Cup final and prepare for the European Championship, I don’t care’“, were, characteristically, his words Rooney.
