Wayne Rooney is adapting a managerial tactic inspired by former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
The former Derby County boss was announced as the new head coach of MLS outfit D.C. United earlier this year as he continues his fledgling coaching career. It will come as little surprise that he attempts to take inspiration from Ferguson, whom he played under across nine seasons at Old Trafford.
Rooney’s time at the Washington-based club has not gone to plan so far, with just two wins from 12 in the dugout and overseeing seven defeats. He is attempting to broaden his coaching career following a difficult season-and-a-half at Pride Park, in the midst of the club’s financial problems.
