Wayne Rooney backs Chelsea boss
Man Utd striker Wayne Rooney insists that sacking Andre Villas-Boas so early on into the season would only be a mistake. Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has acquired a reputation for disposing of underperforming managers, but Rooney thinks Villas-Boas needs more time.
Recent results in the Premier League have been very disappointing for Chelsea, with defeats to title rivals Arsenal and Liverpool and unimpressive performances worrying many Chelsea fans.
However, Andre Villas-Boas has received surprise support from another Premier League rival, Man Utd, as England striker Wayne Rooney shared his take on Villas-Boas' current situation.
"There's a lot of people saying he should be sacked, that Chelsea should make another change," Rooney revealed to The Sun.
"There's no need to do that, I cannot see the point in that at all.
"This season that hasn't been the case but they've a new manager and a new way of playing which will take time to settle.
"For me the best option is to keep faith and keep your manager."
