Manchester City and Liverpool. They have set the marker and they are two incredible teams.

Rooney was offered the Everton managerial position before Lampard was given the nod.

“I got approached by Everton to interview for the manager's job but I'm in a job, I'm still learning and I felt it wasn't the right time." We want your views, Reds. You can become even more involved with our Man United coverage by signing up. There might be offers that come in and you think, ‘I'm going to go for that’. “But you need to be in the right place and I believe I'm in the right place. I'm developing as a manager, developing as a coach and I'm learning." “I feel if I keep doing what I'm doing, keep learning, keep improving, those two clubs one day in the future I'd love to go and manage. "You've got to trust in yourself and believe in yourself.

The Rams boss was a guest for the Monday Night Football clash between Crystal Palace and Arsenal.

We have a lot of good players at Derby, so we are trying to get them better and trying to compete in another tough season in the Championship.Obviously we have had it tough with the 21 point deduction, but in fairness the players have given everything and they keep going. The way we play, we like to play with the ball, make the pitch big and work the opposition so there is a possibility of in the last ten minutes of the opposition becoming tired and making a mistake and we have to take advantage of that. I put pressure on those players because I know what they’re capable of and I put pressure on them on a daily basis to continue to improve.” There is still a possibility that we can stay up, and we will keep going until we go down, or stay up, but at the end of the season we need to reassess. We want to press from the front but we don’t want to press stupid, we want to press from the engagement line and almost set traps and then try to win the ball as high up as possible. “We like to play out from the back, press from the front and win the ball back high up the pitch.

But when you go into one of these big clubs you need to make sure it's the right time and you're able to develop and take that club forward. Do you think that Rooney will return to Man Utd as a manager in the future? Rooney recently admitted that he'd "love" to manage United in the future.

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. So step forward Mark White of FourFourTwo, who has a penchant for such nonsense. Rooney has just said what thousands of Manchester United fans would say if inexplicably given some broadcast time and asked about the problems at the club.

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

Rooney urged whoever takes the United hot-seat to implement their own methods and not be afraid to be bold in their choices. After his retirement, Ferguson became a United club director and global ambassador, and still attends every game he is able to. The Evertonian striking great was brought to Old Trafford by Sir Alex in 2004 and went on to become the club’s all-time scorer with 253 goals.

Derby County manager Wayne Rooney has revealed he attempted to sign Emile Smith Rowe from Arsenal after admitting he 'really likes' the playmaker.

‘I think he’s quite similar to Adam Lallana in how he runs with the ball and off both feet. And despite the Rams’ failure to get a deal over the line, Rooney’s revealed how much admiration he has for the England playmaker. The midfielder had a breakthrough campaign with Arsenal last season but he was heavily linked with a move away from the Emirates last summer.

MANCHESTER UNITED hero Wayne Rooney was critical of Cristiano Ronaldo on Monday night.

Wayne Rooney tried to sign Emile Smith Rowe for Derby County but the Championship club got 'nowhere near' signing the young Arsenal star.

Talking about the former striker, Rooney said, I went for Ian Wright. Growing up, I used to hate watching him play against Everton because he’d always score. Rooney became one of the leaders of Derby in November of 2020 and then took over as permanent manager at the beginning of 2021, and wanted to bring Smith Rowe in. "He is actually a player that I enquired about when I first went in as manager at Derby County, I tried to bring him in on loan.

Man United legend Wayne Rooney has criticised Jose Mourinho for how he handled the academy when in charge at Old Trafford.

"I think Pochettino has done it in the Premier League - he knows the Premier League," he added. "Having the relationship they had with Sir Alex for 26 years and then not being allowed anywhere near the first team… United have earned and continue to maintain an unrivalled reputation for producing players from within and giving them ample opportunities to shine on the biggest stage, with many going on to enjoy storied careers.

The evidence wasn't there for that, he was an outstanding footballer and that was the reason we wanted him." He said: "I was probably better as a nine but I would often feel like there was more to my game if I dropped deeper." He told Sky Sports: "I always loved playing in behind Tevez, van Persie, van Nistlerooy but during those two seasons when I played solely as a number nine, we did not have a striker and those two seasons were my best in terms of goalscoring.

The French star already left Old Trafford once on a free transfer earlier in his career and will see his contract run out this summer.

Rooney, 36, also said last week that he has ambitions to one day manage at Manchester United, which is currently conducting a search for a permanent manager after Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s dismissal. “It hasn’t quite worked at United for him, and there’s a few players they need to let go of. The ability, vision and control of the game is always there for France.

Even if I don’t train for a week, I put on two or three.” So it’s actually the only suit what’ll fit me at the minute — I’ve got to get the most out of it.” Obviously, over the last year, I’ve put a little bit of weight on.

Former Tottenham Hotspur captain Ledley King believes Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick should consider pulling Harry Maguire out of the ...

"He has always struck me as someone who is mentally strong, so I'm surprised that he seems to be struggling in this way. However, former Three Lions defender King believes that Maguire could rediscover his true capabilities if left out of the United side for a "few weeks." Other than that, there's no easy fix other than hard work on the training pitch.

Wayne Rooney jokingly poked fun at former Manchester United teammate Gary Neville over his career 'highlights' while on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football.

"If I’m being honest, I have been to a few of the games and it looks like a team of individuals,” he said. “They are going through a tough time at the club. The teams Rooney featured in were used to winning trophies on a consistent basis.
