“Man Utd defence and midfielde have been mediocre at best this season and I blame a lot of it on Erik Tan Hag’s tactics wanting the team to play out from the back it’s not nice football”-Wayne Rooney Slams Erig Ten Hag after Manchester United beat Everton
Wayne Rooney told Casemiro to be careful after Manchester United beat Everton 2-0 on Saturday.
Erik ten Hag’s team won three points thanks to two penalties in the first half, one won by Alejandro Garnacho and converted by Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford. They are still sixth in the Premier League, three points behind Tottenham.
Everton got off to a good start at Old Trafford and had chances to take the lead. Casemiro, who plays in the middle for United, had a rough game.
And Rooney thinks that the way United plays now leaves the Brazil international open and with too much ground to cover.
Rooney told TNT Sports, “I think there was too much space from the back line to the forward lines.”
Casemiro needs to put in a lot of work to try to keep the middle of the pitch.
“They might have trouble against a better team than Everton was today,” he said.
They deserved to win because they have players who can win games. I believe Rashford is one of them. Bruno always finds a way to score, and Garnacho set up two goals today.
“They should have won, but they can play better than they did today.”

Rooney also thought Garnacho played well against Everton and thinks the 19-year-old has been United’s best player this season.
“I believe Garnacho was the one who made things happen today.” “He was without a doubt the best player on the pitch,” Rooney said.
“I thought his work rate off the ball was great. He’s not afraid to put in the work.” He’s still learning and will make mistakes because he’s still a young player.
“However, he has a strong hunger that every fan wants to see in a player.” This season, I’ve been really happy with him, and I think he will be a great player going forward.
“I believe that his output, goals, and assists can do better.”
“He has the skills to do that, so I expect better numbers from him over the next few years.”
“He’s still young and learning, though, and he’s been Manchester United’s best player this season.”
