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."

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn
