Former England international Wayne Rooney wants to return to Manchester United as a coach when he retires from playing.

After a single season at Everton in 2017-18, United’s all-time record goalscorer joined DC United.

The striker is under contract with the MLS side until 2020 and is weighing up his options beyond that.

The 33-year-old has an option to extend his stay in the American capital, but the Sun reports that he would love to rejoin the Red Devils once he hangs up his boots.

Former United players Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Michael Carrick and Nicky Butt are back at Old Trafford in a coaching capacity.

And Rooney, who is currently doing his coaching badges, would reportedly be interested in following suit in the future.

His wife Coleen is said to fancy a move home from America, and ex-Red Rooney could find a welcoming home back in Manchester.
