“WHY DID YOU PUT THAT INCONSISTENT FLOP IN YOUR LINEUP?!” – WAYNE ROONEY EXPLODES AT RUBEN AMORIM AFTER BRENTFORD DEFEAT
BREAKING NEWS: Old Trafford is once again boiling with tension, and this time it’s not the fans in the stands but a Manchester United legend aiming fire straight at the manager. Wayne Rooney, the club’s all-time top scorer, has unleashed a brutal attack on Ruben Amorim after United’s humiliating defeat to Brentford, questioning the Portuguese coach’s decision-making and even hinting that his job is hanging by a thread.
Rooney, never one to bite his tongue, reportedly blasted Amorim’s latest team selection: “Why did you put that inconsistent flop in your starting lineup when you have a fresh blood ready to prove himself? I think you’re tired of being at Old Trafford because your actions are begging for a sack. I can take the job if you’re not interested anymore.”
The brutal words come after United’s lifeless display against Brentford, where once again the Red Devils lacked intensity, direction, and fight. Fans were already furious with the choice to persist with underperforming senior players, but Rooney’s comments have added petrol to an already raging fire.
Rooney’s Explosive Criticism
Rooney, who knows what it means to wear the shirt and bleed for the badge, didn’t hold back. His comments directly point to a deeper issue: Amorim’s loyalty to out-of-form stars who continue to fail the club week in, week out. According to Rooney, the likes of United’s “inconsistent flops” should no longer be trusted when younger talents are hungry and desperate to prove themselves.
It wasn’t just criticism—it was a challenge. Rooney all but threw down the gauntlet, suggesting Amorim is “begging for a sack” with his baffling decisions. The United legend even joked that he could take the job himself if Amorim is “not interested anymore,” sparking wild reactions among fans who immediately began speculating if Rooney could ever return to Old Trafford in a managerial role.
Fans React: Rooney vs Amorim
Social media exploded after Rooney’s words spread. United fans, already frustrated by Ruben Amorim’s poor run, were quick to back Rooney’s attack.
“Rooney is right. Amorim keeps starting players that cost us games. What’s the point of signing new talent if you don’t trust them?”
“Wayne Rooney saying what we’ve all been thinking. Enough is enough, time for changes.”
“If Rooney took the job tomorrow, I’d back him over Amorim. At least he knows what it means to fight for United.”
Others, however, felt Rooney’s comments were too harsh and risked undermining a manager who is still trying to stabilize the squad.
Pressure Mounts on Amorim
For Ruben Amorim, this is a nightmare scenario. Losing to Brentford was damaging enough, but when a club legend like Rooney publicly questions your authority, it puts immense pressure on the board and the dressing room. Amorim’s choices are now under the microscope, and fans will be demanding answers in the coming games.
The truth is simple: Manchester United cannot afford another wasted season. With the top four slipping away and the dressing room divided, Amorim’s job is already in serious jeopardy. Rooney’s words have only intensified the storm.
One thing is clear—if results don’t change fast, Amorim may not survive until the next international break. And judging by Rooney’s fiery remarks, there are legends ready to step in and take charge if the board decides enough is enough.
