IT’S the question all Manchester United fans are asking.
And when Gary Lineker put it to Wayne Rooney live on BBC before the FA Cup tie with Fulham, the United legend needed a deep intake of breath.


Match of the Day host Lineker turned to the pundit and said: “Nice easy question for you. What have you made of Ruben Amorim‘s tenure so far?”
Rooney puffed out his cheeks as he prepared to reply – fourth months after Amorim was appointed boss and with United only 14th in the Premier League.
Ex-England skipper Roo raised his eyebrows and smiles as he responded: “Good, easy one!”
The ex-Everton striker, who was sacked as Plymouth manager in December, added: “I think it’s been a difficult start of course with results.
“But I think we’ve seen what he’s trying to do, with players going out on loan, and I think there’s a lot of players who need to leave the football club and I think he’s slowly trying to do that.
“Really think his time will start next season.”
Rooney argued: “I think they have to find a way to get through this season. I think the FA Cup there is still a chance of going and trying to win a trophy.
“But I think there’s big changes at Manchester United on and off the pitch.

“I think from next season we’ll start seeing the real change.”
Less than an hour later, Rooney was contemplating another awkward situation.
Calvin Bassey nodded the only goal of the first half for Fulham in stoppage time at Old Trafford.
And yet again it came from woeful United defending.
Rooney called that opening period a “tough watch”.
He claimed there were stars “playing in the wrong positions” – labelling that problem a key problem for Amorim in the summer transfer window.
