Topic one from this session is Wayne Rooney. A recent United fanzine poll found that 99% of respondents wanted Rooney dropped. Rooney spoke out yesterday against his detractors, calling it “rubbish.” (more on that here)
“We are a team, we are not Wayne Rooney,” Jose Mourinho said Friday. ‘We all started well, we all won four matches, and we all lost three matches in a week, so that is not Wayne Rooney.”
“To be honest he did not even play against Feyenoord, so he was directly involved in the two matches.
“We had a very good start to the season, better than we expected and prepared for, and we were guilty of raising the expectations of the people and then we lost three matches in a row.”
Another highlight of the press conference was Jose Mourinho being to further elaborate on the “Football Einsteins.”
