MANCHESTER \u2013 August 21 (ONLINE) Wayne Rooney has told Manchester United boss Erik Ten Hag to focus on getting “energy” on the pitch against bitter rivals Liverpool, even if it does come at the expense of Cristiano Ronaldo. <\/p>\n

The D.C. United manager feels that his former team-mate looked unfit during the Red Devils’ shocking 4-0 loss at Brentford last time out, which saw them fall to the bottom of the table for the first time in 30 years.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils are sitting on zero points after two games and a club legend thinks changes will be necessary for a crunch clash with Liverpool.
\n“I wouldn\u2019t play Cristiano Ronaldo, and I wouldn\u2019t play Marcus Rashford,\u201d Rooney told The Times.<\/p>\n

“If I was in Ten Hag\u2019s position my main concern would be getting energy on the pitch, and United\u2019s failure to recruit a number nine means they relied on Ronaldo against Brentford, even though he hadn\u2019t trained a lot with the team. <\/p>\n

“He looked like he needs time to get match fit. Ten Hag needs energy from his side and that may mean dropping Ronaldo.”<\/p>\n

Rooney added on Rashford’s struggles: “As for Marcus, I think he needs to do a lot of soul-searching and figure out what he wants, for his own good, before anything else.<\/p>\n

“Because watching him is a real concern, he looks like he wants to be anywhere but on a football pitch.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
