After the Manchester derby, Wayne Rooney was disappointed with Manchester United's attacking performance, specifically pointing out that Mbeumo lacked composure in front of goal, while praising the quality of Bruno Fernandes' passing. Rooney also stated that Carrick does not have enough available players, particularly in attacking positions.

Against Donnarumma, Manchester United had only three shots on target throughout the match. The team's best chance came in the 94th minute, when Bryan Mbeumo found space inside the penalty box and shot, but the goalkeeper saved it.

The Italian goalkeeper's save was crucial, but Rooney believes Mbeumo should have capitalized on the opportunity to equalize, criticizing the Cameroonian forward for his lack of composure in front of goal.

"That was one of the few high-quality chances Manchester United had in the second half."

"The chance came from Bruno Fernandes' pass, and the ball to Mbeumo was of excellent quality. The goalkeeper made a great save, but I think Mbeumo could have handled it better."

"If he had placed the ball near the near post, his chances of scoring would have been much higher, despite Donnarumma's wonderful save."

"This is what people often call composure in front of goal; strikers need this quality inside the penalty box. Mbeumo waited for a good chance like that all match."

"Whether you play for Manchester United or not, whether you're left-footed or right-footed, when you get a chance like that, you must observe the goalkeeper's characteristics and know his strengths."

"Donnarumma is tall and has a long reach. If you shoot at chest height, he'll likely save it; shooting low to the far post will significantly increase the difficulty for the goalkeeper to make a save."

Of course, Mbeumo wasn't the only one who performed poorly. Rooney criticized the entire attacking line for poor decision-making and frequently attempting forced long-range shots toward the end of the match.

When asked whether the players were too selfish, lacked tactical understanding, or were simply nervous, Rooney answered: "All of the above to some extent. I said at the end of the transfer window that Michael Carrick doesn't have enough available players, especially in attacking positions.

Benjamin Šeško has played well in some previous matches, but the manager remains hesitant to start him regularly. Matheus Cunha often drops deep and rarely appears in the penalty area.

As a result, the team only manages to create a few half-chances outside the penalty box. When genuine scoring opportunities are limited, once they see the goal, even from 18-30 yards away, the players think, 'I might try my luck with a shot of my own,' but the probability of scoring from such attempts is actually quite low."
