Manchester United great Wayne Rooney has told the current crop of players they need to "fear" Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and hit out at the social media culture in modern football.
The former United striker, now playing for DC United in MLS was asked about the state of the club since his 2017 exit on the first episode of his new 'Wayne Rooney podcast'.
And after admitting that "watching United struggle is always tough", the Reds all-time top goal scorer outlined what he believes needs to change at Old Trafford.
"I think the players need to fear someone," he said.
"They need to fear Ole Gunnar. They need to fear Michael Carrick. They need to respect them but fear them also."
Rooney then slammed the culture of posting on social media and the influence of brands on modern day players.
He added: "The way the game has gone has changed, society has changed. You have got social media.
"You have got players losing a game and posting something on social media about their new clothing range, their new aftershave, whatever they're bringing out, which I find remarkable.
"These players almost always like to find someone to hide behind, whether that is on their social media or on the football pitch and that's what they are doing."
