The glory days at Old Trafford feel a long time ago, with Manchester United experiencing on and off-field turmoil in recent seasons. Optimism was increased when Ruben Amorim<\/a> arrived, but results haven\u2019t significantly improved, which has left many wondering what the future holds for the Red Devils. Club legend Wayne Rooney<\/a> is the latest to speak out, revealing his lack of faith that the situation will improve.<\/p>\n

Wayne Rooney Speaks Out on Current Manchester United Turmoil<\/h2>\n

Wayne Rooney Lacks Faith<\/h3>\n

Amorim built a fearsome reputation in Portugal, steering Sporting CP to a plethora of trophies. Since arriving at Old Trafford, the Portuguese coach has failed to significantly improve things on the red half of Manchester.<\/p>\n

When looking at the stats, Amorim has underwhelmed, collecting only 34 points from his 33 Premier League games in charge. The 3-1 defeat at Brentford on September 27 banished any positive thoughts from the team’s 2-1 win at home to Chelsea the week before.<\/p>\n

Rooney\u2019s legacy at Old Trafford is secure as the club’s all-time leading goalscorer, and he is downbeat regarding the current situation at the club, making it clear he has no faith that the situation will improve.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on,\u201d Rooney said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have tried my hand in management and it didn\u2019t work out too well, so I get it. Ruben Amorim is my age, he\u2019s still a young manager and I\u2019m sure he\u2019s got a massive future, but what\u2019s going on at Man Utd, this is not Man Utd.<\/p>\n

\u201cI honestly hope he can turn it round and he does. But\u2026after everything I\u2019ve seen, honestly, I\u2019ve got no faith in it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Future for Ruben Amorim and Manchester United<\/h3>\n

The situation is bleak at Old Trafford, and it appears a return to the glory days under Sir Alex Ferguson are a long way away. The club have quite frankly brought appalling performances in recent years, and the performances on the pitch are reflecting that. It feels like a reset is needed.<\/p>\n

Amorim is under pressure, and there is no sugar coating that. Results need to improve, but it feels like this will take a significant amount of time. Can the Old Trafford board wait that long? Is Amorim the right man for the Old Trafford hotseat?<\/p>\n

It feels like there are more questions than answers at the moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
