Rooney: 'Man Utd just wants to end the season soon' 2
`Losing the way Man Utd is now will raise big questions,` Rooney told Sky Sports, after a 0-1 defeat to Arsenal in round 37 of the Premier League.
When asked further if he felt the players were playing for Ten Hag, the former England striker said: `If they do, they don’t show it much. The performance, for a team with a number of players
Coach Ten Hag talks with Casemiro and goalkeeper Onana during a break in Man Utd’s 0-1 loss to Arsenal at Old Trafford in round 37 of the Premier League on May 12.
Similar to former players David Beckham and Gary Neville, Rooney wants his old club to give Ten Hag more time, saying that Man Utd has had transfer problems for many years.
Rooney also criticized Casemiro for being `lazy` for walking leisurely in the penalty area, helping Arsenal break the offside trap and leading to Leandro Trossard’s only goal.
Sharing this opinion, Roy Keane said: `Casemiro cannot play as a central defender in the Premier League. No matter what shortcomings you have, you cannot train speed. There is a bit of laziness in pushing forward to lead.`
The former Irish midfielder was also not satisfied with Man Utd’s attack – the team did not create many opportunities despite finishing 14 times, three more times than Arsenal, and touching the ball 145 times in the final third of the field.

Striker Alejandro Garnacho was disappointed after a missed shot in Man Utd’s 0-1 loss to Arsenal at Old Trafford in round 37 of the Premier League on May 12.
Man Utd met Arsenal without up to 10 first team players, including key players such as Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford, Lisandro Martinez or Raphael Varane.
But Paul Merson did not see this as a legitimate reason when pointing out that Chelsea also had many injuries, but won the last three matches to surpass Man Utd.
The loss to Arsenal left Man Utd in eighth place with 54 points – a position not participating in the European Cup.
