Wayne Rooney has issued a blunt warning to Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, insisting the club must start producing results immediately to avoid another disastrous season. United spent nearly £200 million on new signings over the summer, but have managed just one point from their opening two Premier League matches.

He’s got to start getting results and getting them quickly,” Rooney told…

Now, his attorneys say he is being threatened with deportation to Uganda…
