Rooney: 'There's no soul, no fight and no character'

|September 30, 2025
WAYNE Rooney has no faith in Ruben Amorim to turn things around at United and believes the soul has gone from his former club.
Wayne Rooney says he has no faith in Ruben Amorim as Reds boss
Head coach Amorim has taken 34 points from his 33 Premier League games in charge following Saturday's 3-1 loss at Brentford and is yet to oversee consecutive topflight wins.
Rooney, the Reds' all-time leading goalscorer, said he goes to games expecting the team to lose and feels some players do not deserve to represent the club.
Despite the ongoing poor form, which includes last month's Carabao Cup exit at League Two Grimsby, Amorim reportedly retains the backing of United's board.
"I just don't know what's going on," Rooney, 39, said on his BBC podcast.
