Rooney: Arsenal's Celebrations After Atletico Win Were Over The Top

Wayne Rooney believes Arsenal's celebrations after their victory over Atletico Madrid were excessive. The London club eliminated the Spanish giants, reaching the Champions League final for the first time in 20 years. Following their success, all players and coaches entered the pitch to celebrate with the fans.

"They deserve to be in this position, but they haven't won anything yet. I think the celebrations were a bit over the top. Celebrate when you win," Rooney stated after the match. However, he added that this appears to be Arsenal's year and they could go on to win the Champions League.

The Manchester United legend also commented on his former club. According to Rooney, the "Red Devils" should give Michael Carrick a long-term opportunity. "If you appoint Luis Enrique or Thomas Tuchel and they win 10 of their first 14 games, you'd say that's incredible. Just because he's a young, English manager, in many people's eyes, he's not the right person. Michael Carrick is intelligent and a really good coach. I think he can lead the team for a long time. It will be an interesting summer. For the first time in a long while, there seems to be some calm at Manchester United," Rooney shared.
