Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has reportedly expressed interest in joining the coaching staff under Michael Carrick at the club, according to multiple sources.
Rooney, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in Manchester United’s history, is said to be keen on beginning the next phase of his football career in coaching. His potential involvement would see him work alongside Carrick, who is currently leading the team in a caretaker capacity following the departure of the previous interim manager.
The former England captain has previously hinted at his desire to pursue coaching, having gained experience managing Derby County and taking steps toward completing his UEFA coaching badges. His return to Old Trafford in a coaching role would mark a full-circle moment for the club icon.
Manchester United fans are reportedly excited about the prospect, as Rooney’s deep understanding of the club’s culture and ethos could provide a boost to the current squad and complement Carrick’s tactical approach.
It remains unclear whether formal talks have begun or if an official appointment will be made, but sources suggest that both Rooney and the club are open to exploring the possibility ahead of the upcoming fixtures.
