Wayne Rooney sharply criticized Manchester United players who made Ole Gunnar Solskjaer disappointed.
Solskjaer was finally removed from his post as Manchester United manager after a run of poor results, with Saturday’s 4-1 loss to Watford being the final trigger.
Despite the sacked manager, the former Red Devils player and all-time top scorer feels the player should have behaved and played better.

“Can the players do more? One hundred per cent,” said the Derby County boss The Mirror.
“I was very disappointed to see the game against Watford. As a manager you know you can prepare a team, shape them, but some of them have no reason to perform like that.”
“I see players losing the ball and blaming other people. It’s unacceptable. If it was my player, I would be angry.”
“When it comes to Manchester United, they are one or even the biggest club.”
“Those players are lucky to play for [United]. With the material they have, it could have been better.”
“I’m not saying they have to win the league or the Champions League, they just have to try harder, show the fans that they work and play for the club.”
“This is what fans at least expect. The results may vary, but the important thing is that you have tried.”
“I remember Sir Alex Ferguson’s words: ‘The most difficult thing in life is to work hard every day.’ Whatever your job, it’s true.”
