Former Manchester United and England forward Wayne Rooney has revealed he would be keen on a return to Old Trafford.

Rooney was fired from his job as Birmingham manager earlier this season, just three months into his three-and-a-half year contract with the club.

Rooney is now looking to return to management as swiftly as possible and has stated an ambition to manage either Manchester United or Everton in the “next 10 years”.

“Managing Manchester United or Everton is the aim, these big jobs are where you want to get to,” Rooney said on BBC’s Match of the Day.

“But it’s a process I have got to go through the steps and get myself back on track. I want to get myself back into management to make sure in the next 10 years I’m hopefully in a position to go into one of the big jobs.”
