Amorim Responds to Rooney’s ‘Naive’ Critique

United’s Coach Defends Himself Against Rooney’s Remarks

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has responded to club legend Wayne Rooney’s criticism, in which Rooney labeled Amorim as “naive” for expressing ambitions to win the Premier League amidst the team’s current struggles. Following United’s FA Cup exit to Fulham on penalties, Amorim reiterated the club’s long-term goal of securing the league title, acknowledging that while immediate success may be unrealistic, maintaining high aspirations is essential.

Amorim emphasized that aiming for the Premier League title remains the club’s objective, even if achieving it may not be immediate. He acknowledged the current challenges but stressed the importance of setting high goals to guide the team’s progress.

Rooney, United’s all-time leading scorer, had suggested that Amorim’s focus should be on improving the team’s current league position before setting such high targets. United currently sits 14th in the Premier League and has been eliminated from the FA Cup, reflecting a challenging season.

Despite the criticism, Amorim remains steadfast in his vision for Manchester United, underscoring the necessity of long-term planning and ambition to restore the club to its former glory.
