Ruben Amorim has told Wayne Rooney that it is not naive for how far Manchester United are winning the Premier League title.
Rooney, the goal scorer of the club, was looking as an expert after Holders United collapsed from the FA Cup in Penalti by Fulham in their fifth round tie in Old Trafford.
Said amorim BBC Sport After the goal game for his troubled team is to win the Premier League and Rooney called the Portuguese “naive” for the time of his comments, given that United are 14th at the table.
Asked about Rooney’s words and if it was realistic to talk about winning the title, amorim said: “No, this is the goal. Being naive is to think we will (win the title) this season or be the best contender for next season.
“I know at this moment everyone knows everything. I know it’s really easy. I was an expert when I finished my career. I know it’s really easy.
“Our goal is to win the Premier League. Maybe it is not with me but our goal as a club, the board, is winning the Premier League like us in the past with all the great glories and legends of this club.
“We want to do better and we know we are in a difficult moment.
“I’m not naive. That’s why I’m here training Manchester United at the age of 40.”

Rooney was charming to the amoring situation after being brought in the middle of the season and expects the coach’s coach to be given time, but challenged him for his choice of words after eliminating the Armed Forces.
United’s last hope for silver and possible road in Europe next season is winning the Europa League while they sit 10 Adrift points of the seventh country in the league.
“I think he will take (time). It’s not a free hit because I think you’ll expect a little more from Manchester United than what we’re seeing since he was inside,” Rooney said as an expert BBC Sport.
“It is very difficult to get in the season and not have money – season to implement his plans with the team. He has to look in the future by moving forward and how they can first – he says win the Premier League – compete to get a little further on the table, I think it’s the next step for them.
“I think it’s a little naive to say” We’re looking to win the Premier League “because, where they are now, they are a long way away from that.”
What about Man UTD?

Sky Sports’ Adam Bate:
The FA Cup saved the season for Erik Ten Hag for the last time with that memorable victory over Manchester City in Wembley. There will be no repetition for amoring after another bitter disappointing afternoon for Manchester United at Old Trafford.
After encountering Ipswich in the middle of the week, they were the second best for long periods against Fulham. This time, they were beaten, from the FA Cup to the penalty. When Marco Silva said his team “took responsibility” to make the game was a fair appreciation.
United sat deeply and waited against the attacks. The players showed determination as they did against Ipswich, but it was only Alejandro Garnacho – fell for this game with a knock after his reaction to be replaced Wednesday – who took fans from their places.
The built -in game was unconvincing during the 120 minutes and even when the ball reached the players ahead, Rasmus Hojlund looked without confidence. Joshua Zirczee’s faith is not likely to be much higher as Miss Miss decided the connection.
United are still in the Europa League, but there is little time to correct those issues before facing the Real Sociedad on Thursday. The injuries are growing, Harry Maguire was forced late. “We will be competitive,” Amorim said. It is less united to wait.
