Wayne Rooney breaks a spear in favor of Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund

Speaking at the microphones of "BBC Match of the Day", former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney, among other topics, dwelt on the enormous difficulties that Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee are having, who have not yet been able to showcase the qualities they have shown in Serie A with the jerseys of Atalanta and Bologna respectively.

"I think United play too slowly, the speed è of the ball è too low and the central forwards do nothing but wait. Sometimes I also made mistakes and played badly, but I had good players around me. Hojlund, on the other hand, gets no help. He has to try to keep the ball and use his body. He is running and è willing, but è too isolated" debuted the Manchester United legend.

"The same goes for Zirkzee, who lost too many balls in the challenge with Fulham. There is a lack of creativity in the offensive phase, and the difficulties of Joshua and Rasmus are reflected in the rest of the team, as midfielders and defenders fail to rise to support them" added the former Red Devils center forward.

"I think the match with Fulham is the perfect picture of their season. It was a very disappointing performance. With the amount of top teams already out of the FA Cup, it was a great opportunity for United. It's very difficult for a coach to come in during the season. I think Amorim was a bit naive to say that they are aiming to win the Premier League, because they are a long way from that goal. I am convinced that Ruben will have&eagrave; the right time to work, but his focus now has to be to move up the table"” Wayne Rooney opined.
