**Ruben Amorim Responds to Wayne Rooney’s Manchester United Criticism**
*By Rajdeep Saha | Oct 03, 2025, 07:38 pm*
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has openly acknowledged his poor record with the club and said it is “normal” for club legends to criticize him. This admission follows comments made by Wayne Rooney, Manchester United’s all-time leading goalscorer, who stated on his BBC podcast that “the soul has gone” from the club.
### Coach’s Reaction: “You Can’t Run Away from the Results”
During a recent press conference, Amorim responded directly to Rooney’s criticism. He said, “It is normal. You can’t run away from the results. Then you have the baggage from last season, [although] last season for me doesn’t matter.”
Despite a disappointing 15th-place finish last season and a Europa League final defeat, many United fans continued to back Amorim, hopeful for improvement in the current campaign.
### Season Outlook: “It Is the Time to Show”
Amorim promised supporters that this season would be different, with more time to work with his players and no midweek European distractions. However, Manchester United’s start to the season has been far from ideal.
After six Premier League games, United have secured only two wins, one draw, and suffered three defeats. They currently sit 14th in the league table and have yet to keep a clean sheet. Their recent loss against Brentford further emphasized the challenges the team faces.
When asked what assurances he could give the supporters, Amorim stated, “It’s not the time to say, it is the time to show.”
