"But Rooney added that some current players "don't deserve to wear the shirt", the side "needs a new engine" and supporters are "waiting for the club to crumble". "I am not seeing anything which is giving me any confidence, there needs to be big changes in my opinion," said the former England striker, who won five league titles during 13 years at Old Trafford. "Manager, players, whatever that is. Whatever it takes to get Manchester Untied back.""
""There needs to be a clear message from the owners," added Rooney. "Whether that is the Glazers, [minority owner] Sir Jim Ratcliffe, there has to be a message of where this club is going. At the minute we are all sitting there waiting for it to crumble. "The culture of that football club has gone. I see it on a daily basis.""
Manchester United are portrayed as broken, suffering a loss of soul and club culture that has eroded confidence. The team has collected 34 points from 33 league games under Ruben Amorim and has failed to win successive matches. United finished 15th last season, their worst top‑flight finish since 1973‑74, and are winless in their last eight Premier League away games. Current players are criticized as unworthy of the shirt and the squad is described as needing a new engine. Calls are made for significant changes and a clear message from the owners about the club's direction.
