Wayne Rooney may have surprised some fans with his choice to manage in Major League Soccer after an impressive stint in charge of Derby County in the most trying of circumstances.
But the former Manchester United and Everton star believes the skills he is learning at DC United will give him a better chance of managing at Old Trafford or Goodison Park one day.
The 37-year-old, who won 120 England caps and five Premier League titles, began his managerial career with Derby in 2020, Rooney steered the club through an incredibly turbulent period off the pitch as the Rams descended into administration.
