15-Second Brief
Former footballer Wayne Rooney stated he would only return to coaching at Manchester United or Everton. The 40-year-old is doubtful about resuming his managerial career and is currently enjoying his role as a television pundit.

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has confessed he would only consider a return to the dugout for two specific clubs.

Rooney views a return to management as unlikely but sees himself taking charge at either Manchester United or Everton.

I doubt it. Again, I know I’ve been through four tough jobs. The only option I would return for in any capacity is Everton or Manchester United. But it’s very unlikely.

The 40-year-old has been out of work since leaving Plymouth Argyle by mutual consent in December 2024.

Previously, he managed Derby County, DC United, and Birmingham City, but none of these stints brought him the success he was hoping for.

The former England striker has since turned to punditry, revealing that this new role has provided him with a true sense of purpose.

I’m not doing it for the money. I’m doing it for purpose, not just to sit at home all day. There’s a chance I might never manage again. I enjoy working on Match of the Day, and now is the time to learn and get better at what I’m doing.
