United is 14th in the Premier League with a low performance group.

Minority Sir Jim Ratcliffe took the unusual step of discussing people in a series of interviews this weekStating that some United players are “not good enough” and “overwhelmed” and are reported Casemiro, Antony, Jadon Sancho, Rasmus Højlund and André Onana.

Rooney has agreed and believes that a massive journey is needed.

This Manchester United team looks lost – roune

Speaking on the stick in football podcast, former United and England striker said: “I don’t think (there is a way back for the current team). They look lost, they look scared.

“Bruno (Fernandes) is the one who continues to produce. It bothers you from time to time. But he continues to produce.

“There are huge changes to the team, I think 10-15 players have to leave the club. Obviously, they can’t do so, but there is a mentality where no one takes responsibility (in the team).”

So who would Rooney hold?

In an ideal world, Rooney says he will hold only two players, adding: “I would keep Bruno and (Kobbie) Mainoo.

“There is a culture in the club where it is very easy to lose games and the players come out and say, ‘to the next’, and all these rubbish. Just show some character and fight on the pitch.

“It’s bad to see, it hurts. Being from Liverpool, but it has been spending so many years on United, I want the team to do well, I have my kids in the Academy and it hurts to watch them.”

Everyone is downgrading – Amorim

Asked yesterday about Ratcliffe’s observations, the Portuguese stated: “Everyone is degrading myself, myself and the players. We can always change this, I include myself in this part of the low performance.

“You’re talking about players like Casemiro that have won everything. We know that these players can play much better, that’s the focus. It was honest in it. The focus is to change your mind.

“Many people will say that you are not good enough for the club, but my feeling is that you can change this with results.

“During training I feel that they really want that bad.”
