Wayne Rooney has called on Arsenal supporters to create a more supportive environment at the Emirates Stadium. The former England captain suggested that the atmosphere during home fixtures has hindered the players during the final stages of the Premier League season. Speaking to Sky Sports, Rooney noted that the tension within the ground was evident during recent performances.
Arsenal currently trail Manchester City in the Premier League table following a recent loss to Aston Villa. Rooney stated that fans need to be better and get behind the team rather than expressing frustration. He compared the current situation to his experiences at Manchester United, where collective support proved vital in title races.
According to The Guardian, the Gunners are attempting to win their first league title since 2004. Manager Mikel Arteta previously asked for patience from the crowd following a string of difficult results. The club faces several crucial fixtures in the coming weeks to remain in contention for the trophy, per Sky Sports.
