Wayne Rooney Criticizes Manchester United's Underwhelming Start

Manchester United's summer rebuild, which saw them splash a reported £200million on a new forward line, has failed to yield the desired results, with the club accumulating just 28 points from 29 top-flight fixtures since Ruben Amorim took charge. United's former record goalscorer Wayne Rooney has expressed his concerns, stating that Amorim has "no excuses" for underperforming this season. The 39-year-old believes that the club's poor start may already be indicative of a lack of progress, and that Amorim needs to start getting results quickly to avoid pressure mounting.
