Weekend Snack Ice Cream
Wayne Rooney He shared his thoughts again in the Sunday Times. In this week’s column, the former senior player calls on current Manchester United boss, Erik ten Hag, to miss the opportunity Cristiano Ronaldo Marcus Rashford is on the bench.
“I wouldn’t have started with Cristiano Ronaldo or Marcus Rashford,” Rooney wrote, referring to Monday’s meeting with Liverpool.
“If I’m in the position of Tin Hag, my primary concern will be to have more energy on the pitch, and with United failing to sign a defensive nine, that means they have to count on Ronaldo against Brentford, even though he didn’t have much. From training. With the team. It seems that he needs time to prepare for the match.”
“(Ronaldo) has also made it clear that he wants to leave. I don’t know the circumstances but, as I wrote last week, I let him do it. He is a great player who will always score goals but Tin Hag’s job is to create a team that can fight for the league title in 3-4 years. “.
“With regards to Marcus (Rashford), I think he needs to do a lot of inner work and figure out what he wants before anything else, for his own good.”
Wayne Rooney has received an answer to a letter that is perhaps the biggest supporter of Cristiano Ronaldo – the infamous presenter Piers Morgan.
Morgan notes that Rooney has a 28 per cent win record so far as coach of DC United (who also went 0-6 this weekend).
Morgan wrote on Twitter: “I am therefore suggesting that he give himself up in coaching advice and his constant grumbles are jealous of Rooney whose talent, success and physique overwhelm Rooney.”

Manchester United, led by Eric Ten Hag, does not give up hope for Anthony. The only problem is that Ajax valued the winger at a full 1 billion crowns, an amount United are not particularly keen on paying, the Daily Mail reports.
Alfred Schroeder agrees that the money is breathtaking for officers who can imagine moving themselves.
– It’s ridiculous, but we’ve already sold five or six major players. I don’t think it’s right for us to sell another one, says the Ajax coach according to Metro, adding:
– I understand the boy (Anthony). It’s tough. But we play in the Champions League and as far as I know Manchester United don’t. But we will see what happens.
