Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has revealed he is keen to turn his hand to management when his playing career comes to a close.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has often reported receiving hints from Rooney about his team selections, advice he usually ignores.

However, it seems the 25-year-old is serious when considering what to do when his own playing days are over.

Rooney said in an interview with MUTV: "I would like to be a manager. That would be my ambition when I finish playing.

"You see the players who have played for Alex Ferguson and gone on to be good managers — I am hoping to do that one day.

"But I wouldn't like to follow the manager here, or start at an Everton or Manchester United.

"I want to learn something about the lower leagues and build a reputation that way rather than just jumping into a big club.

"It is not right if someone goes in and gets a big job with no experience. There are managers who have worked for years trying to get that."
