Former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney expressed his concerns about the team's performance, despite their 1-0 win over Newcastle United. The victory propelled United to sixth place in the Premier League, but Rooney believes they still lack the quality and rhythm to challenge for a top-four finish. Rooney praised manager Ruben Amorim's decision to switch to a back four, but felt that it didn't address the underlying issues. He criticized the team's reliance on young players, stating that it's 'not sustainable at all.' Rooney also questioned United's approach with the ball, citing their low possession rate at Old Trafford. He emphasized that the fans want to see the team controlling matches and entertaining, rather than just grinding out results. Rooney's comments come as Manchester United continue to struggle with consistency, and his assessment of the team's performance has sparked debate among fans and pundits alike.
