Iconic ex-United manager<\/a> Ferguson snapped up Wayne Rooney<\/a> when he was only 18 years old after the club signed him in a deal worth \u00a327m from Everton in 2004.<\/p>\n Rooney spent the early part of his prolific United playing spell under the 83-year-old Scot and hoovered up the major silverware, including five Premier League titles.<\/p>\n Following Ferguson\u2019s retirement as United manager<\/a> in 2013, Rooney continued his playing career at the Premier League club and remained an influential presence.<\/p>\n Rooney later ascended to the United captaincy<\/a> under Louis van Gaal<\/a> and would eclipse fellow legend Sir Bobby Charlton<\/a> as the Red Devils\u2019 all-time leading scorer.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Wayne Rooney finally breaks silence with \u2018something\u2019 he saw from Man Utd\u2019s defeat to Grimsby, \u2018clear for everyone\u2026\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n Wayne Rooney\u2019s remarkable Manchester United<\/a> playing spell ended in 2017 and the Red Devils icon left Old Trafford and returned to Everton for a brief second spell.<\/p>\n United\u2019s all-time leading scorer<\/a>, who called it time on his illustrious career as a footballer in 2021, has now singled out the Red Devils side under Ruben Amorim<\/a>.<\/p>\n Rooney revealed that United\u2019s teams under former manager Sir Alex Ferguson would not even \u201ctalk about tactics\u201d during their encounter with teams at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n The United legend<\/a> added that Ferguson\u2019s legendary teams of the past were \u201crelentless\u201d and were built to \u201coutrun\u201d and \u201coutpower\u201d opposition sides at home.<\/p>\n Rooney said the aforementioned reason was why United scored so much late on under Ferguson, but it is \u201ccrazy\u201d that one detail has now disappeared under Amorim.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen teams used to come to Old Trafford, you wouldn\u2019t even talk about tactics,\u201d he explained on The Wayne Rooney Show, as per BBC Sport<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019d say, just be relentless and you\u2019d outrun them, outpower them. That\u2019s why we scored so many late goals, because the opposition were dead on their feet.<\/p>\n \u201cFor them not to do that now at every game, especially at Old Trafford, is crazy.<\/p>\n \u201cI think players are getting a little bit lost and it\u2019s a carry on from last season. If it carries on like that, then unfortunately, I don\u2019t see how it moves forward.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Manchester](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-2194709188-1024x683.jpg\")
