Man Utd boss Amorim slams Rooney after FA Cup exit

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has responded to Wayne Rooney’s claim that he is “naive”.

Fulham eliminated the Red Devils on Sunday night in a penalty shootout.

Calvin Bassey gave the visitors the lead before Bruno Fernandes equalized for United.

After the match, Amorim told reporters that his aim was to win the Premier League at Old Trafford.

Rooney, who was working as a pundit on the BBC, described Amorim’s claim was “naive”.

But Amorim hit back at the former United striker, saying it is was “easy” to speak from a TV studio.

“[The Premier League] is the goal,” Amorim said.

“Being naive is to think we are going to do it this season or be the best contender next season. So I know that in this moment everybody knows everything.

“I know that and it’s really easy – I was a pundit when I finished my career. I know it’s really easy.”
