Has a Scouser ever managed United?
Wayne Rooney interview
- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date
He was brought up on one of the roughest estates. I'm surprised there was only that little swearing in there.
Knowing our luck Stevie G will lead Liverpool to masses of success, while Rooney gets here and Moyesie's it up.
TBF he was swearing at Fergie at 14.
Wonder what he would tell Maguire
We’d probably see a Smith/Rock replay.
There isn't much correlation between being an elite manager and an elite player so no particular reason to think this will ever happen for him except through misplaced sentiment. Still you never know.
He would need to go and apprentice with Pep or someone first, not piss about at Derby.

Imagine what SAF thought when 14 year old Rooney was telling him to f*ck off
Rooney asking his parents to tell Sir Alex to feck off at 14 sounds like typical Rooney
Rashford will also never be our top scorer. He's nowhere near clinical enough to score that many goals. Even if he got back on form, it's never happening.

From what I can gather it was a posh dinner with an interview conducted on the stage, not sure who by.
Here's what you got:
Wouldn't be surprised if he was pissed up. There were cheaper options too where you didn't get the signed shirt, photo opportunity or free drink and in worse seats with later arrival times.
At least it wasn't your standard footballer/ex-footballer interview, sounds like he provided some value there!

Big Ron. I was thinking of him when I was reading the quotes.
Hopefully this will never happen. One ex-legend as a manager was enough for me.
Some of these quotes...
I freely admit I thought Rooney was a moron (in general) and washed-up at the end of his tenure with us.
But at least he gets it. Doesn't mean he should ever be our manager but I'd love someone with the qualifications and that attitude as our head football figure.

I hope he is never United manager, and this interview is just one of many reasons he isn't fit for the job.
Amazing quotes
Haha epic quotes! The Ronaldo one.
Man says what he sees. He says what all of us see. Hope he manages us after achieving shit tonnes. Goes on to win leagues and UCLs for us and then top it off by being red carded for sliding into the ref for a bad calll. Players drag him off saying you’re a manager now sir. Can’t do that.
Sounds like he was drunk when he did that interview
Drunk or not, he called spade a spade, props to him. A lot of people these days are beating around the bush and hiding their true opinions on stuff.
Fantastic stuff
I wouldn’t put it passed him, he’s achieved everything else he has put his mind to.
There are two kinds of people in this world; the back scratching Gary Nevilles and the no filter Wayne Rooneys.
I so much prefer the latter.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading those quotes
I actually think he could be quite good. He's definitely gotten off on the right start, doing admirably with Derby.
Hopefully he continues to smash it and has another 5/10 years of learning the craft and getting a style, nice and primed for the United job.

I like that he goes on and admits he's not ready for the job yet, tells me he is willing to work through the lower leagues and earn his chance to manage the club, unlike our other legend who seemingly wanted the job given to him without proving himself first. By all accounts he's doing quite well at Derby, and even though people label him as dumb he was actually a very cerebral/ smart footballer. Hope it works out for him.
Ten Hag to revolutionise United until 2030 when Rooney takes over after being the assistant for three years..
I love that interview. The Ronaldo quote is epic.

Yeah or United comes down to Derby's level. Might have him as manager in 3 years.
Ole failed in the championship, Rooney is doing an amazing job. If Rooney keeps building on his career as a manager and having succes than why shouldnt he be an option as a ex player?
You’ve got to love the white Pele. LEGEND
He doesn't have the charisma nor the personality to be United manager, and I doubt he'll have the right football style as well. He was already an awful captain. No thanks. Just because he's an ex-United legend who got into management, it doesn't mean he should be considered for the job at any time in the future, be it recent or remote.
Of course he should, in the same way any other candidate should.If he wants the job, and keeps Derby up and performs admirably at his next club, why not? The problem would be if he was given the job now, not later after proving himself a top manager. Unlikely that will happen but if it does, I would love to see him here.
This is why I can't hate Tevez.
Rooney and Tevez were my favourite partnership ever. Ronaldo beside them was a bonus. That quote doesn't surprise me at all because their chemistry was evident on the pitch in and out of possession.
I love Berbatov, and still think we should've signed him, but I don't think he should've automatically took Tevez's spot in the 1st team. Rooney, Tevez and Ronaldo had too good of a partnership, and our intensity as a team dropped due to that swap.

Nah, there will always be better candidates for the Man United job than Wayne Rooney, even in remote future. I have no doubt about that.
Legend. My favourite United player by far
Seems like he was "van Gaal" levels of drunk in that interview.
Brilliant, Rooney as UTD manager who knows maybe in a few years or so. Tevez quote great .
ooh, err...
Because it clouds our judgement when we need to sack said manager. Rooney played on for 4/5 years after he wasn't good enough to cut it at United and we were too afraid to call it out and our football and success suffered because of it. Why would it be any different when he was manager?
