A POSITIVE START ” I think we started well for the first time I can say.
Like he did in the Hull [City] game, the manager just tells me to go and help the team win the game. “Obviously in the second half nobody was expecting to score four more goals and win 8-0 and it was all about control”. “I listen to my coaches and my teammates, the people around me, and I don’t really listen to what a lot of people out there are saying because a lot of it is rubbish”, Rooney told MUTV.
“Honestly, I think there was a Wayne before the Slovakia-England and a Wayne after the Slovakia-England”, said Mourinho.
Three losses in nine days led to widespread criticism of Mourinho’s management style and the makeup of his United team.
Meanwhile, Mourinho also said he had no regrets over his decision to publicly criticise individual players for making errors.
“To do that I need to improve my game down the sides because my positioning in those areas, where I haven’t played since I was 12 or 13, is a bit off”. The last thing that the team achieves is consistency because the process starts with playing well in spaces and the last thing you achieve is to play well consistently.
“He is my captain, he is the club captain, the players’ captain and that is hard because sometimes you are the club captain because you have lots of years in the club”. In the 267 minutes Rooney played in the Premier League before England’s match with Slovakia, Rooney scored once and made two assists with an average of 45 passes per game.
Occupying a deeper role alongside Ander Herrera, Pogba finally produced the kind of display demanded of him, but – although impressed – his manager still wants more. We have our goals. “We are happy. We want to carry on like this”. Every team is good, numerous teams are stable, numerous teams have stability from years of the same manager, others with stability with the same players.
