Wayne Rooney, the manager of Derby County, has revealed that he entered management in order to one day take over at Manchester United.
After 13 trophy-laden seasons, the 36-year-old became United’s all-time greatest scorer with 253 goals.
Rooney is also a fan favorite at Everton, having progressed through the club’s system and returning for one season near the end of his career.
