“Man Utd players need to come together, whether they’re friends or they don’t like each other”
Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has urged Manchester United players to come together and fight for the club to ensure the Red Devils finish in the top four.
The Red Devils slipped out of the top four following a disappointing 1-1 draw with Burnley on Tuesday night.
Asked whether United will qualify for the Champions League this term, Rooney told talkSPORT: “I think it’s going to be tough, if I’m being honest. You can see confidence is low and there are other issues going on around the club.
“They’ve certainly got the players there and they have got some good results of late, but performances haven’t been great, that has to improve.
“Them players need to show their character, show they’re all together and fighting for that club – because there are games I have watched when you question that at times. That’s me being honest.
“If it carries on going the way it’s going, I don’t think United will get top-four. I think there needs to be serious conversations among the players, without coaches and staff there.
“They need to come together, whether they’re friends or they don’t like each other, for 90 minutes they need to come together for that club.”
