Wayne Rooney has been Confused By Jose Mourinho ,Says Ryan Giggs
The Welshman believes that Rooney’s switch back to a role up front has been yhe very cause of his drop of form this season.
Wayne Rooney has seen himself dropped bythe Portugese and also dropped by interim England manager Gareth Southgate for unentertaining 0-0 draw in Slovenia. But United legend Giggs, who won five EPL League titles and the Uefa Champions League alongside the England Captain , has said Rooney can get himself back to the first team in his club and country.
He played less games as he was older, but still played a vital role in several title winning campaigns, before retiring with a record 13 Premier League winners’ medals. The United Legend believes Rooney, who has been regular at top-flight football since he was just 16, is starting to go through those same changes he went through too.
The 42-year-old told ITV:
“I see a player who’s going through a transitional period, I went through itwhen I was 29 or 30, where I was a winger and I couldn’t knock it around a defender and get it the other side.“I feel a little bit sorry for him, towards last season and for England in the summer he was played in that deeper role, then he was told he’s playing as a No 9 or aNo 10 [by Mourinho], he’s probably a bit confused.”Rooney was booed at Wembley Stadium on Saturday but Giggs doesn’t think Rooney’s career at the top is over.Giggs added: “The only way he can get it back is on the training pitch.“I don’t see him playing in a specific position, he’s got the talent to play so many positions, and the experience.”
