Rooney criticises united defence

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney has criticised his teams defending following Sunday’s 5-3 defeat.

United found themselves 3-1 up after 57 minutes after goals from Van Persie 13 Di María 16 Herrera 57.

Leicester however thought back to stun united with 4 goals in 21 minutes which left new manager Van Gaal stunned

Following the game Rooney said “It’s really disappointing,” he said. “Going 3-1 up especially and then losing the game, it’s hard to take.

“We should have done better as a team, seen the game out and won it from the position we were in. (There were) some mistakes and we didn’t do well enough as a team to stop their goals.

“It’s a game where we played some great stuff, scored some great goals and conceded some sloppy goals.

“We have to do better; we know that - as a team we have to do better. It’s not nice when you concede goals when you know we can prevent them. Everyone individually as a player knows that.

“They had the momentum with them in the last twenty minutes and we had to somehow try and find our composure and see the game out, but we failed to do that.”
