Wayne Rooney

Former Manchester United and England striker Wayne Rooney joined Sky Sports on Monday Night Football. Wayne Rooney is doing an outstanding job as Derby ...

While Rooney probably has a limited relationship with Pogba, he developed alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and built a memorable relationship with him. "You'd have to say no at the minute. He has the ability, the vision, the control of the game. The French World Cup winner is expected to move on this summer. His connections to Manchester United have not really factored into his post-playing career so far. It's there every game for France.

Manchester United are seeking a new permanent manager at Old Trafford with Wayne Rooney favouring Mauricio Pochettino over Erik ten Hag as the pair continue ...

I think if Paul is honest with himself he hasn't had the impact he'd have liked since he returned. Paul Pogba's contract comes to an end this summer following his £89m return in 2016. He was forced to rebuff rumoured interest from United earlier this season and has constantly reaffirmed his commitment to the Paris project. "Managers now they need time to come in and put their blueprint on the club and the team and given time I think he'll do well." Pochettino has struggled at PSG and is the latest manager to fail to deliver the long-coveted Champions League trophy. Rooney believes the former Tottenham man would be better suited to the job, however.

Speaking on Monday Night Football, Wayne Rooney claimed Manchester United should choose Mauricio Pochettino over Erik ten Hag as their next manager: ...

"[Ferguson] is still involved in some way and you see him at the games and that naturally will bring a pressure to whatever manager goes in there. The people in power and certainly the more senior players who were left at the club knew this was going to be a big challenge. I'm developing as a manager, developing as a coach and I'm learning. "Ferguson was like the godfather of the club, not just the players but the staff, the academy, he was on top of everything. For David Moyes I always thought, 'this is an impossible job to come in and replace Alex Ferguson'. He signed for six years and they were trying to give him that time to do it but it didn't work out. When he plays for England, he looks like a world-class centre-back so a lot of it is confidence to get the feeling of winning again consistently. David Moyes came in and it didn't work out and from then, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer… we've had good managers but Manchester United is a different club to many clubs around the world. He's a goal threat but I think during the rest of the game, they need more." "They just have to get them confident and believing they're good players performing at a better level. "I can look at it and say it hasn't been good enough as we have that group of players they need to be doing better. "I think Pochettino has done it in the Premier League," Rooney said. If Paul is honest with himself, he probably hasn't had the impact he'd have liked since he returned to Manchester United," he said.

Ronaldo, 37, re-joined Man United from Juventus last summer and has scored 18 goals in 32 games in a difficult season for the Red Devils. Rooney, however, has ...

"Sancho will be better next year, Marcus will be better next year. Rooney went on to say that it would be better for both parties if Paul Pogba left the club this summer. They need young, hungry players."

Wayne Rooney has opened up on the post-Alex Ferguson era at Manchester United, having worked with, and without the legendary boss.

“When he left, everyone in the club was down. They are going through a tough time as a football club and everyone wants the manager situation to be sorted as soon as possible. He was on top of everything..

Former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has claimed that his former side have endured a dismal Premier League season.

They are going through a tough time as a football club and everyone wants the manager situation to be sorted as soon as possible. With that group of players they have to be doing better. “It’s been strange,” he explained on Sky Sports regarding United’s season.

Wayne Rooney has chosen his preferred candidate in the leadership contest for the Manchester United manager's job. Mauricio Pochettino, Erik ten Hag, ...

But his first role in management is likely to leave him with a relegation on his CV. "I feel that if I can keep doing what I'm doing, keep learning and improving, those are the two clubs that one day in the future I would love to manage." "I’d go with Pochettino, and give him time.

What should Manchester United do? Build around the 29-year-old leaving in the summer, of course. What a 'sensation'.

‘Bremer of Torino has been targeted, with Arsenal leading the host of European clubs interested in his signature. It’s not so easy to believe there is any substance at all to this opportunistic guff. Tottenham, Manchester United, Arsenal, Juventus and Bayern Munich were the first to appear willing to reach a deal for the Brazilian defender in the upcoming summer transfer window, but no doubt many more are to come. When one of your sub-headlines is ‘Pogba should go…it’s time to blood the kids’ then you know this ‘sensation’ has no substance at all because Pogba is already going in the summer.

"Paul Scholes, in my opinion, it should have been him and Alan Shearer, the first two." "The ones which are the same are Sergio Aguero, one of the best strikers the Premier League has ever seen," Rooney said.

The last one, I thought: 'I've got to put god in, how can you not put god in?' Robbie Fowler." "I then went with John Terry, who I've said for years is, in my opinion, the best centre-back in Premier League history. Rooney agreed with these three selections and even argued that United favourite Scholes should have been one of the first two players inducted.

His presence 'upstairs' can increase pressure onto the man in the Man United dugout, according to club great Rooney.
