Wayne Rooney Praises Erik Ten Hag’s Influence At Old Trafford.
Wayne Rooney thinks that Manchester United may win the Premier League this year as a result of Erik ten Hag’s influence on the team.
Ten Hag enters this weekend’s Carabao Cup Final against Newcastle with the goal of winning his first trophy and the club’s first trophy in six years.
The Red Devils defeated Barcelona in the Europa League this week and are presently third in the Premier League, eight points behind champions Arsenal and just three points behind rivals Manchester City.
The current DC United manager thinks they already should be seen as potential championship contenders and lauded the job the Dutch coach has done this season. Their present form has supporters dreaming of a return to United contending on all fronts once again.
He is precisely what Manchester United has been looking for for a while. Rooney said in an ESPN interview.

“I believe he’s altered the players’ perspective, confidence, and belief that they’re really a fantastic squad, and I think people are beginning to see that this season, and they’re in a terrific position,” said the player.
They are five points behind the leader, and there are still many games left, so everything is possible.
Rooney, the club’s all-time leading scorer, will value Marcus Rashford’s current form since he has been a major contributor to the team’s success so far this season.
Rashford has scored 24 goals for United this season, which is more than any previous season. 16 of those goals have come in the 18 games since his World Cup comeback.
Rashford’s predecessor in the United number 10 jersey is overjoyed to watch him performing at his peak.
“He’s doing well,” I said. He has shown early in his career that he is a great talent. Rooney threw in.
He saw a little decline over the last couple of seasons, so it’s critical to return to what he does best and play to his strengths.
Being direct, forceful, and self-assured in front of goal—I really thought he wasn’t self-assured for a while—but this season, he’s back to his best.
After the Carabao Cup Final on Sunday, Ten Hag’s team will face off against old rivals Liverpool in the Premier League on the following Sunday before facing Real Betis in the Europa League’s round of 16.
