Roo: We’ve let Moyes down

MANCHESTER United striker Wayne Rooney believes the players have let manager David Moyes down so far this season.

United have claimed only 10 points from their opening seven games under his tenure.

The side looked to be slipping to a fourth defeat of the season on Saturday after a poor first half against Sunderland - before two goals from Adnan Januzaj handed them a 2-1 win.

And while Rooney believes a period of transition is inevitable, he insists the players have to do better for their boss.

“Obviously the manager is under a bit of pressure, but we know as a team it’s us who have let him down,” he said. “We have to pull together and show the sort of fight we have done here and we'll be fine.

“This will be a transition season, because it’s a new manager with different styles and we have to adapt to them.”

Moyes handed Januzaj a surprise first start against the Black Cats and the young Belgian repaid his manager’s faith with a stunning performance as well as his two goals.
