His future is uncertain but he's made it clear to Man United that he would only consider leaving Derby for a No 1 role.

Rooney should not have a shortage of suitors. He was already under consideration for 

 after they fired Rafael Benitez. Rooney would not leave Derby during the relegation fight, though.

So far, we know that Mitchell van der Gaag is set to join Ten Hag as his assistant coach, while Steve McClaren is also rumoured to be close to returning to Old Trafford.

Bringing in Ten Hag is a statement of intent from Man United's American owners with the Glazer family seemingly willing to rebuild the club from top to bottom under a new manager.

Yes either Rio or Vidic. 
Rooney needs to hone his skills more before he falters like Lampard who left Derby for Chelsea. Any connection??🤔😃😃🤷

I like your point but also Being vocal is different from hands on. Punditry is one of the easiest jobs , don’t forget that all the commentary we do on this app class is all as pundits, but can we coach??

Sly Diggs

Yes some of us can coach if we’re not sentimental and cony

Thomas Hanbury

Stam will be the likeliest and Evra wouldn’t be a good choice. He has the professionalism that Pogba lacks but it’s the same sort of character…

Gabriel Serra

I would prefer Ferdinand,because he’s vocal and was a great modern defender then and also he’s a great figure and loves football,then another should be Evra

and Fletcher should check his role. And not disrupt / mind  the work of the manager. Let ten Hag do his job, his way.

all our legend that's English has no coaching experience but they talk too much, start from Garry Neville. failed as a coach. Paul Scholes failed too. Rooney has joined them also. they cannot coach but they are the one first to call out a manager or a player. do you get the point now?

Your right Ekan , Fletcher should just fucking do one

So it's ok for you to comment but them being ex professional footballers have got no standing in saying what they want to!!!

In all respect to Rooney it was always gonna be hard for him with a 21point deduction and not able to sign players

Raymond GGMU

No way we don't need any united English legend to be involved, they have shown us that they are not capable of the tax

Bring in RvP, Rooney has a lot in his ahead as Derby just relegated!
