🚨 UNBELIEVABLE ‼️ ROONEY EXPOSED BOMBSHELL TO AMORIM 😱 OMG! PRESSURE INCREASED 

Wayne Rooney has never been one to mince words, and his latest comments on Manchester United have sent shockwaves through the football world.

Speaking on his podcast, “The Wayne Rooney Show,” the club’s all-time top scorer did not hold back in his assessment of United’s current state.

He described Old Trafford as a shadow of its former self, claiming the “soul” of the club has been lost amidst managerial struggles, poor performances, and a lack of leadership from the top.

Rooney’s remarks came hot on the heels of United’s 3-1 defeat to Brentford, a match that underscored the team’s ongoing decline under manager Ruben Amorim.

The Portuguese coach has overseen a dismal run of form, with United picking up just 34 points from his 33 league games in charge.

The defeat left them languishing in 14th place, precariously close to the relegation zone, and yet Amorim appears unwavering in his commitment to his controversial 3-4-2-1 formation—a decision that has drawn widespread criticism.

For Rooney, the issues go far beyond tactics.

He slammed the current squad, suggesting that some players don’t deserve to wear the iconic red shirt.

“There needs to be big changes,” he said.

“Manager, players, whatever it takes to get Manchester United back.”

The former England captain also took aim at the club’s ownership, demanding clarity from the Glazer family and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who recently acquired a minority stake in the club through his INEOS Group.

Rooney warned that fans are bracing for the club’s complete collapse unless drastic action is taken.

The cultural erosion at United was another focal point of Rooney’s critique.

He lamented the widespread redundancies that have stripped the club of long-serving staff, claiming that these changes have robbed United of its identity.

“I see staff losing jobs, people walking out of jobs. What I’m seeing at that football club is not Manchester United,” he said.

Rooney’s concerns extended to the academy, where his own children are enrolled, fearing that the upheaval could impact the future of the club’s youth system.

Amorim, for his part, has brushed off concerns about his job security, insisting he is “not that kind of guy” who worries about his future.

However, the pressure is mounting.

United have now gone winless in their last eight Premier League away matches, and pundits like Micah Richards and Alan Shearer have openly questioned Amorim’s tactical rigidity.

Shearer even suggested that Amorim was fortunate to still be in charge, given the team’s dire performances.

Despite his brutal honesty, Rooney acknowledged that Amorim is a young coach with potential.

Yet he admitted he has no faith in the manager’s ability to turn things around.

“I honestly hope he can do it. But if you’re asking me if I believe he will? After everything I’ve seen, honestly, I’ve got no faith,” Rooney said.

The turmoil at United extends deep into the club’s structure.

Since Ratcliffe’s INEOS Group purchased a 27.7% stake earlier this year, controversial changes have reduced the overall number of employees from 1,100 to around 700.

Football operations are now under INEOS’s control, but the Glazer family still holds majority ownership, creating confusion over the club’s long-term direction.

This lack of clarity has only added to the frustration among fans and pundits.

Saturday’s defeat to Brentford was a microcosm of United’s season.

Benjamin Sesko scored his debut goal for the club, briefly offering a glimmer of hope.

But defensive lapses allowed Brentford to strike twice within the opening 20 minutes, and United failed to mount a sustained fightback.

Deep into stoppage time, Brentford sealed the contest with a third goal, leaving United to lick their wounds once again.

The match was not without controversy.

Bruno Fernandes missed a crucial penalty in the second half, and Nathan Collins escaped a red card despite what many considered a last-man foul.

Referee Craig Pawson’s decision to issue only a yellow card sparked outrage among United players and supporters.

Former Premier League referee Mark Halsey blasted the decision, calling it “absolute nonsense” and arguing that Collins had clearly denied a goal-scoring opportunity.

Fernandes’ missed penalty compounded the sense of injustice, and Brentford capitalized on United’s misfortune to secure the win.

Fans were left fuming, feeling as though refereeing decisions had once again gone against their team.

The fallout from the match has only deepened the frustration surrounding Old Trafford, with many questioning how much longer Amorim can hold onto his job.

Reports suggest that Sir Jim Ratcliffe has already drawn up a shortlist of potential replacements for Amorim, with names like Gareth Southgate, Oliver Glasner, and Andoni Iraola being linked to the role.

However, United are reportedly reluctant to part ways with Amorim before November 1st, when the compensation owed to the coach would drop significantly.

Meanwhile, BBC Sport has dismissed talk of a shortlist entirely, leaving Amorim’s future shrouded in uncertainty.

As things stand, United remain on shaky ground both on and off the pitch.

Rooney’s scathing critique has only added fuel to the fire, amplifying calls for sweeping changes at all levels of the club.

Whether those changes will come soon enough to save United’s season—or its soul—remains to be seen.
