The defeat yesterday Manchester United at Old Trafford against Arsenal (0-1) left Erik Ten Hag’s team very shaken, as it will be difficult for them to play in European competition next season with only two days left before the end of the Premier League and little chance of winning the FA Cup final against Manchester City on Saturday 25th of this month.
The ‘Red Devil’ team that played was decimated by injuries and that’s what former club legend Wayne Rooney wanted to talk about. The former striker and ex-English international dropped a bombshell by directly accusing some players of skipping yesterday and previous matches to reserve themselves for the Euro Cup and FC Cup final He believed they were there to play but they weren’t they do it to put themselves in conditions in matches that are more important.
“There are very good players in that squad and the performances are below average. If you look at the injuries, some of the players can play, 100 per cent. But there is a European Championship and an FA Cup final The comfortable thing for them is to stay out for a while and then come back for the European Championship that I have seen myself in recent years, I don’t think the injured are giving any credit at the moment.
This is the list of injuries that United have today: Bruno Fernandez, Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford, Victor Lindelöf, Mason Mount, Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martínez and Anthony Martial.
