EPL: Rooney holds two Man Utd players responsible for 2-2 draw with Liverpool
Former Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney expressed frustration with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and current skipper Bruno Fernandes following the team’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool on Sunday.
Luis Diaz put the Reds ahead 1-0 at Old Trafford, but goals from Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo turned the game around.
However, in the 82nd minute, Wan-Bissaka fouled Harvey Elliott inside the box, leading to a penalty which Mohamed Salah converted.
Rooney criticized Wan-Bissaka and Fernandes during his analysis of the penalty incident, stating, “When you go back a bit, Bruno Fernandes is too easy to get past when Joe Gomez is taking his run down the line.
Bruno dives in and lets him get past, which is why Aaron Wan-Bissaka then has to come out. If he stays on his feet, you don’t get to this situation. But it’s very poor from Wan-Bissaka. It’s sloppy. When you go to ground like that, you run the risk of giving a penalty away.”
