MEMPHIS DEPAY SHOULD NOT BE THE SCAPEGOAT FOR CHELSEA DRAW ADMITS ROONEY




England and Manchester united captain Wayne Rooney has says that Memphis Depay should not be blamed for Chelsea's late equaliser against Manchester United on Sunday as he urge fans to support the winger rather than use him as a scapegoat



Although captain Rooney was adamant it was not the summer signing's fault, telling reporters: "I think we're all disappointed.
"Memphis is a fantastic player and that happens, we all give bad passes away. A lot of things happened from when you give the ball away to when they've scored the goal, so I don't think we can stand here and blame Memphis.
"I think there were other things which happened and why they've scored."
Rooney felt United suffered as Chelsea applied pressure in the closing stages, explaining: "The game was broken up a bit, we gave too many free kicks away and then we couldn't get up the pitch.
"But with Chelsea, at times it's difficult, because they pushed players up front and they didn't really play with any system, so it's difficult to work out how to defend against them."
