Wayne Rooney: Florian Wirtz shouldn't play for Liverpool, suggests replacement

Wayne Rooney Criticizes Florian Wirtz's Performance at Liverpool

Wayne Rooney has expressed concerns about Florian Wirtz's impact on Liverpool, stating that the £116 million signing has struggled to adapt to the Premier League.

Wirtz, who joined Liverpool this summer with high expectations following his success at Bayer Leverkusen, has failed to meet the standards set for him.

Despite his impressive performances in the Bundesliga, Wirtz has yet to score or assist in any of his eight appearances for Liverpool this season.

Rooney believes that Wirtz disrupts the team's balance and faces tough competition from established players like Dominik Szoboszlai in Liverpool's crowded attack.

Wirtz has been substituted in every game he has started for Liverpool, raising questions about the manager's confidence in him.

In a recent interview, Wirtz acknowledged the challenges he has faced in adapting to his new team but remains optimistic about his future performances.

Liverpool will face Galatasaray in their upcoming Champions League match, where Wirtz will aim to make a positive impact and silence his critics.
