Wayne Rooney revealed he would like to manage Manchester United someday.

Rooney said in January that he turned down an interview for the manager's job at his boyhood club Everton while he continues his bid to save Championship side Derby County from relegation.

"The whole reason in me going into management is Manchester United. I got offered the job interview for the Everton job," he said.

"I want to be Manchester United manager. I know I am not ready now but I have to plan everything I do to make sure one day it will happen."

Rooney is United's all-time top scorer with 253 goals during his 13-year spell in which he won 16 major trophies including five Premier League titles, the Champions League, Europa League and FA Cup.

United appear to prefer hiring either Erik ten Hag or Mauricio Pochettino.
