Rooney in pain

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney admits he feels “heartbroken” watching his former team's disastrous decline.

Rooney believes the winning culture at MU has been lost.

The Red Devils' all-time leading goalscorer, who has won five Premier League titles and many other major trophies, believes the current generation of players are losing the spirit and winning spirit that is the club's identity.

Rooney, 39, expressed his disappointment when looking back at the current situation of United, after the 1-3 defeat to Brentford that left the team in 14th place in the Premier League. "Shrek" even affirmed that he "no longer recognizes MU".

“Get Roy Keane back in the dressing room, or Paul Scholes. I’d be in there. I don’t see the players fighting on the pitch, the desire to win three points, the character and the ability needed,” Rooney stressed.

However, what pains the former England striker the most is that his children have never witnessed Man Utd's success. Kai Rooney, 15, and Klay Rooney, 12, both play for the Red Devils' youth team, but only his eldest son has seen the club's most recent Premier League title. Rooney said: "My children don't know what Man Utd's success is. I want them to experience that feeling."

The former England international also worries that the negative atmosphere at Old Trafford could have a direct impact on the development of his children in the academy. “What I see at that club is no longer Manchester United. The winning culture has disappeared, staff have left, stability has been broken. I really hope that doesn’t affect my children.”
