Manchester United

Paul Parker, former Manchester United player from 1991 to 1996 while commenting on Wayne Rooney, Manchester United striker, said the play is now "Overweight And Slow", and he is not longer worthy to play in the new Jose Mourinho led new team.

Paul Parker said;

This is a defining season for Rooney. It's no longer about him breaking records but finishing his career at Manchester United. He needs to show his worth and that he deserves to be in the team and not just because of marketing.

As much as people appreciate what he's done over the years and how many goals he's scored, football is about now and being judged on now.

If someone had only heard of Wayne Rooney but saw him now they'd think ‘Who is this fella? He's overweight and slow.’ It looks like he can't move or shift his body quick enough.

Wayne Rooney scored against Bournemouth in their opening game last Sunday, but that is not enough to say that Wayne still has enough left to command a place in United’s starting line-up.

Louis Van Gaal (LVG) has been sacked as Manchester United manager. The 64-year old was relieved of his duties as manager after appearing on the team training ground on Monday, and was calm and acted like it was business as usual.

The man was named coach of the club in 2014, but his 2-years of reign ended amidst his game style that only see United scoring 49 league goals this season. His playing style had not helped both the players, and fans have also criticised their coach via different social media.

The backroom staff which was brought to Old Trafford could be seen clearing their desk this morning after the announcement, and there is new speculation that the new coach of the club might be the old rival of the club and former Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho.

 Jose Mourinho has been out of work since his sack as manager of Chelsea football club.

LVG led the team to the FA cup victory since 2004 on Saturday with a 2-1 win over Crystal palace, but that victory did not save him from getting shown the way out of Old Trafford.

Manchester United has not been able to reach the top three of the Premier league since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club as manager.

Van Persie, 31 has said that his move to Fenerbahçe S.K. earlier this month was because of him falling short of favour from the Manchester United manager, Louis Van Gaal. Van Persie made only 4 appearances in the last 3 months to the end of the season after an ankle injury when playing against Swansea City in February, and he said he feared the most when the manager failed to bring him into the game against Chelsea, when Man U was trailing 1-0 in Stamford bridge in April.

Van Persie told sunday times :

 That was one of the first signals things weren’t going in the right direction. I asked to play in the reserves, to get my minutes, but after was on the bench again. The atmosphere changed between me and Louis and people at the club saw it, but I was always professional. At that point I didn’t think to leave. [Van Persie's wife] Bouchra was happy. The kids were happy. I was happy in Manchester.

But I was still thinking we could come back from holiday and start from scratch. He had changed his mind about me before. When he took over Holland he said to me ‘You’re the No 3 striker.’ I was ‘O...K...’ but I fought and became the No 1 and his captain.

But when I came back, it wasn’t an honest battle any more. Fighting to get back in the team wasn’t given me as an option. He was sending me to Pitch Two. And I’m a mature player. I’m not stupid. I didn’t get angry or emotional. These things are part of football, part of life. You have to make the best out of any situation so I’m doing this by moving on.

I know Louis as a national team coach and now I get to know him as a club coach. And there is a difference
