Whilst this sounds far fetched, I’d imagine from a players perspective the euros are much bigger than the PL, and it’s not without possibility that they’d try and keep themselves fresh. I actually wondered if we’d start to see players pulling out of tackles and not giving 100% the nearer it got.
Souness has reiterated Rooney's comments. Says he knew about it months ago.
Won't name names though.

Players throwing yet another manager under the bus. Nothing will change until the squad is cleared of the bad eggs and the culture completely reset into what resembles a football club geared towards togetherness, respect and winning.
Souness played for Liverpool mainly in England in the 70s and 80s.

Sourness (deliberate) is guessing no doubt, using his 15 minutes of fame to stick the knife in!

Dont you know who he is? He is a famous Scottish footballer who won loads at Liverpool.
He is also claiming he knows of United players feigning injury from a relaible source. He and Rooney could be lying... or telling the truth. You know as much as I do, so you cant rule out either senarios.
Souness’ source is Pogba.

Only injured players going to the Euros are Bruno, Lindelof, Slabhead and Shaw.
Bruno has only ever missed 3 games his entire career, Shaw has been out for months and I don’t see the other 2 doing that. Think Rooney is talking nonsense.

Lindelof isn`t going to the Euros, Sweden didn`t qualify

I do know who he is hence why I called him "sourness" for a reason!
Why would Rooney be lying now? I would understand Sourness because he hates Utd, why Rooney?
And yes, we are both speculating so who knows what the truth is but this squad has form in terms of not performing for managers, I have zero trust in them!

Even more reason why it doesn't make any sense, I guess. Shaw and Rashford in particular need to be back ASAP as both are in serious danger of missing out on the the Euros as it stands.
The only player I can think of is Martial, maybe. There's been something off with the way his latest lay-off has been handled (it stretches all the way back to the Bayern game in Decemeber). Malacia too. But I think those two are probably more psychological issues rather than simply not being arrsed to play.
For what it's worth I still think Rooney's were throwaway, non-specific comments. Souness I don't know.
How is this thread still going?
Rooney wasn’t talking about any individual and he wasn’t claiming to know that any particular player is feigning injury.
He’s just saying that based on what he’s seen before, some of those out injured could probably play if they really wanted to.
This isn’t difficult.
