Earlier report

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney believes that improper squad reinforcement lies at the root of his former club’s recent struggles. The Red Devils invested over £150 million in the midfield this summer, signing Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans and Carlos Baleba. Unfortunately, Santos and Tielemans have struggled to impress, while Baleba only recently regained full fitness after missing the start of the campaign with an injury. The English giants, meanwhile, are 16th in the Premier League table after eight games, with just one win to their name. United have won just two of their 12 games in all competitions, losing six, and Michael Carrick is under pressure at present.
