Amorim’s STRANGE comments & Rosenior will be GREAT at Chelsea!

The Wayne Rooney Show

Available for over a year

Wayne, Kelly and Kae dig into Ruben Amorim’s post-match comments after the 1–1 draw at Leeds. Wayne shares why he found them to be confusing: is Amorim speaking with too much authority, or is the criticism unfair given the state of the squad? Wayne questions the criticism that he and other Manchester United legends are too harsh on the team, and admits he’s written off United’s Champions League hopes this season. The panel also debate whether Amorim gets too emotional after defeats, if he’ll see out the end of his contract, and Wayne explains what made him so disappointed with United’s recent display against Wolves. With Liam Rosenior rumoured to be in line for the Chelsea job, Wayne explains what sets his former assistant manager apart as a coach and why he’s backing him to do well at Stamford Bridge, while the panel discuss the broader aspect of a young English coach being given a rare opportunity at a top Premier League club. Wayne also shares his thoughts on Enzo Maresca’s exit and owner interference in football clubs, and there’s a chat on the title race after Manchester City were held by Chelsea. You can watch The Wayne Rooney Show on BBC Sport YouTube, iPlayer, as well as listen on BBC Sounds.
