Wayne Rooney delivers bold verdict on Manchester United fans
Manchester United have endured a topsy-turvy time ever since Sir Alex Ferguson retired, although things have looked up over the past few months. The Red Devils are yet to win the Premier League since the 2012/13 campaign, which was their final season under the legendary Scot.
Since then, the English giants have had several managers, both temporary and permanent, and have enjoyed sporadic success. United have won two FA Cups, two EFL Cups, one Europa League trophy, and one Community Shield during that period.
The Red Devils have also reached the Europa League final and the FA Cup final on two other occasions each during that period, but ended up on the losing side. It is safe to say that the English giants have been far from their best in recent times, but their fans remain as vocal as ever.
Senne Lammens recently paid tribute to United fans and hailed Old Traffordâs atmosphere. Club legend Wayne Rooney, who was part of the Red Devilsâ recent golden generation, has now praised fans for their continued support despite the teamâs recent struggles.
Arsenal fans urged to learn from United counterparts
Rooney recently touched on the topic of Arsenal fans criticising the team following the recent 2-1 defeat at Manchester City at the Etihad. The defeat saw the Gunnersâ lead at the top of the table reduced to three points, with second-placed City also having a game in hand.
Speaking on The Wayne Rooney Show, however, Wazza insisted that Arsenal fans should learn from their United counterparts. He said: âOf course they (Arsenal fans) want to win the league and theyâre desperate to win the league, but I think they need to understand theyâve got a role to play.â
