‘I was worried’ – Wayne Rooney reveals major concern during Man Utd’s scrappy win over Chelsea that would have seen more pressure mount on head coach Ruben Amorim

Rooney has now shared his thoughts on the game and admitted he feared for the Red Devils after Chelsea went a man down. He told The Wayne Rooney Show on BBC Sport: “Do you know what? I thought even with 11 men, I thought they started the game really well and caused Chelsea problems. And then when Chelsea went to 10 men, I was worried! I was thinking, it’s just like United now to go and lose the game. And then I think that would have brought a whole lot of more pressure on the manager. But I thought they played really well first half and then second half, it’s silly, it’s naive from Casemiro. As soon as he got his yellow card, I was watching it in the BBC studios with Danny Murphy and I said that I’d take him off. He’s going to get sent off. You just knew what was going to happen and it could have cost us in the end.”
