**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 at the club and said it is “normal” for club legends to criticize him. This admission comes after Wayne Rooney, United’s all-time leading goalscorer, expressed his disappointment on his BBC podcast, claiming that “the soul has gone” from the club.
Under Amorim’s management, Manchester United have won only 18 out of 49 matches across all competitions, a performance that has drawn widespread scrutiny.
**Coach’s Reaction: “You Can’t Run Away From the Results”**
Responding directly to Rooney’s comments during a recent press conference, Amorim 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 in the Premier League last season and a Europa League final defeat, many United fans have continued to support Amorim, hopeful for improvement in the current campaign.
**Season Outlook: “It Is Time to Show,” Says Amorim**
Amorim had promised supporters that things would improve this season, especially as he now has more time to work with his players without midweek European distractions.
However, the first six games of the season have not gone as planned. Manchester United currently sit 14th in the Premier League table after suffering three defeats in six matches. The team has managed just two wins and one draw, and they have yet to keep a clean sheet this season.
When asked about assurances for fans, Amorim replied, “It’s not the time to say, it is the time to show.”
**Current Situation**
– Manchester United are 14th in the Premier League after six games.
– Their record stands at two wins, one draw, and three losses.
– The team has not kept a clean sheet so far.
– Their most recent defeat came against Brentford last week.
As the season progresses, all eyes are on Amorim and his squad to demonstrate tangible progress and restore the club’s fading spirit.
