Wayne Rooney calls for patience from Manchester United fans

Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney calls for patience from fans after the Red Devils succumbed to their third straight defeat in a row against Sunderland.

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has called for patience from the club's fans.

United have lost all three matches this year, and Tuesday night's 2-1 defeat to Sunderland in the League Cup semi-final was the first time in nearly 13 years that the Red Devils have suffered a trio of consecutive reverses.

Speaking to MUTV, Rooney said: "The fans' support is very important. The fans have been great here, especially now when we are not in the best of form and we have lost the last few games.

"We need them to support us through this time. We will get stronger and we will get better. The fans are vital in being patient with us and letting us try to get there. I am sure we will do."

United are currently seventh in the Premier League, 11 points behind leaders Arsenal.
