Wayne Rooney says Manchester United made the right decision to sack Jose Mourinho as something needed to change at Old Trafford.
The former United striker said that the "relationship between some of the staff and some of the players obviously wasn't great" under Mourinho, whose two-and-a-half year reign was brought to an abrupt end last Tuesday.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, a former team-mate of Rooney's at Old Trafford, got off to a flying starts as caretaker manager, winning his first game in charge 5-1 at Cardiff.
"Something had to change, It was the right decision," Rooney said on BT Sport of the decision to dismiss Mourinho.
He added: "I stay in touch with a lot of people at the club, speak to them quite a lot - certainly this week - and I think, to be a successful football club, you need everything to be right.
