Wayne Rooney took responsibility for enforcing Sir Alex Ferguson’s principles at Manchester United after the long-serving manager stepped down in 2013.
Rooney was announced as the new head coach of MLS outfit D.C. United last year as he continues his fledgling coaching career. The former striker has, unsurprisingly, picked up managerial techniques from the boss whom he played under for nine years.
Jesse Lingard, who left United this summer to join Nottingham Forest as a free agent, has explained how Rooney took it upon himself during his playing days to continue on Ferguson’s training ground rules at Old Trafford after the Scot had stepped down from his role.
