Wayne Rooney names the Man United star who MUST start to address a 'lack of leadership' and 'passion' - as club legend reveals why he feels sorry for Benjamin Sesko after derby defeat

Wayne Rooney believes Ruben Amorim must turn to one Manchester United star to provide leadership to the current squad following their defeat in the Manchester derby.

Amorim's side suffered a 3-0 defeat by Man City on Sunday, with Phil Foden opening the scoring before Erling Haaland struck twice.

The result continues an underwhelming start to the season for the Red Devils, who have won one of their four Premier League games and also suffered a humiliating Carabao Cup exit to Grimsby.

Rooney, Man United's record goalscorer, identified a lack of leadership in the current side and believes Harry Maguire would help to address the issue.
