Former

star

has claimed that he would love to manage the club and also explained that the Red Devils must once again introduce themselves as one of the top teams in Europe.

Rooney played for Manchester United for 13 years and won many honors with this team, and in the end he was able to break the scoring record of the club. He is currently the head coach of

and has a difficult mission to keep the team in the championship. However, the former England captain welcomed the opportunity to coach United.

He said:

“Of course I would. At the minute obviously my focus is on Derby County and staying up [in the Championship], but Manchester United and Everton are the two clubs that are very close to me.

“Hopefully one day in the future I can manage one of those two clubs. It'd be a great achievement for me.”

Asked about Red Devil's situation in recent seasons, Rooney said:

“They're obviously going through a difficult period,” the former striker added. “Whether it's Rangnick or a new manager at the end of the season, they need someone to go in there and have time to build a squad.

“I think the next three years certainly it's going to be very difficult for them to win the Premier League. They need to give someone the time to build a squad and challenge for the big prizes.”
