EPL: Rooney blames two Man Utd players for 2-2 draw with Liverpool

Former Manchester United captain, Wayne Rooney, has expressed his 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 1-0 up at Old Trafford, but goals from Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo turned the game around.

However, in the 82nd minute, Wan-Bissaka fouled Harvey Elliott inside the box to give the visitors a penalty, which Mohamed Salah scored.

Rooney has slammed Wan Bissaka as well as Fernandes during his analysis of the penalty.

“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.”
