PHOTO:Phil Neville urges Manager Jose Mourinho to start Wayne Rooney against Leicester City, despite 99% of fans want to see the forward dropped
Former Manchester United player, and a huge fan of manager Jose
Mourinho, has given his support to struggling United key man, Wayne Rooney.
Phil Neville as reported by metro news online, insists if he is the
United manager, he will play Wayne Rooney against Leicester City this weekend
despite another below-par performance against Northampton Town.
The source said that a recent survey in a Manchester United fanzone
showed that 99% of supporters want to see the forward dropped but Neville
insists Rooney must start in Saturday’s lunchtime clash against Claudio
Ranieri’s side.
‘He will start, for me, on Saturday. He is still an important player in
this team,’ said Neville.
‘You can see with his performance that he is not playing at the
top
level, his game isn’t flowing and things aren’t coming easily to him but it was
important for him to get out there and play another 90 minutes.
‘The worry is that he ended up on the right wing again and continually
changing positions will eventually affect him.
‘Because he wants to be a centre forward or he wants to be a central
midfield player but he doesn’t want to be stuck on the right wing.
‘At the moment that is having a massive effect on his performance.
