Former England captain Wayne Rooney stands up for Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho who he believes is being used as a Scape Goat

Although Mourinho may be one of the reasons Rooney left, Rooney has no hard feelings and have come out to make a case for Jose Mourinho amid the team squabble and their slow season start. The former English captain Wayne Rooney spoke to The Telegraph after scoring for DC United during the weekend and said...

"It's tough [at United], it has been a tough situation,"

"The players, the manager, it has been a tough start to the season.

"I know Jose is getting a load of stick but I said a few weeks ago, the players have to stand up.

"They have to be counted and they have to be better. The manager can do so much but then it is down to the players on the pitch to produce and probably collectively."
