Wayne Rooney has claimed that Erik ten Hag aimed a 'massive insult' at Manchester United stars after their defeat to Arsenal.

The Red Devils have been underwhelming for the better part of the season, managing just 16 wins in 36 Premier League games.

The Old Trafford dwellers have recorded a further 14 losses, including a 4-0 embarrassing defeat at Crystal Palace last week.

United's latest setback came on Sunday evening, May 12, after title challengers Arsenal silenced them 1-0 at the Theatre of Dreams.

Leandro Trossard was responsible for the solitary goal, with the striker finding the back of the net in the 20th minute of the encounter.

The latest setback saw United break two unwanted records, per SPORTbible, including one last set 53 years ago.

Rooney claims ten Hag insulted his players

Ten Hag could hardly hide his disappointment after the match, with the Dutchman hitting out at his players in a post-match analysis.

"It starts always with the right attitude and that is what you have to build during the week and on match day you have to be spot on," the United boss noted.

Speaking on ten Hag's remarks, Rooney noted that United stars should feel 'insulted' after the manager questioned their attitude.

"I said this a few weeks ago, I think the players have to really look at themselves because when you’ve got your manager doing his interview and he’s talking about attitude and players’ attitude not being right to play for Manchester United, that is a massive insult," the legendary striker remarked via Metro UK.
