Man Utd Striker, Wayne Rooney Plans Coaching Career After Retirement

WAYNE ROONEY insists he wants to go into coaching after his playing days are over.

The United striker turns 30 in October.

And he claims coaching is something he is seriously considering after he hangs up his boots.

"I think as a player, and hopefully one day going into coaching, then you're always trying to pick up things, what teams are doing and, especially as you get a little bit older, you are trying to see how different teams are playing the game and how you feel you could counteract that," Rooney told ESPN.

"It's a different way of watching football and learning from it."
