Former Manchester United striker, Dimitar Berbatov, has backed the club’s legend Wayne Rooney to take charge at Old Trafford in the future.

Berbatov was a former teammate of Rooney during their time at Manchester United.

Rooney is Man United’s all-time top goalscorer and he is currently the manager of MLS outfit DC United.

“Not many players from my time at Manchester United have actually gone into management,” Berbatov told Betfred.

“But, in my opinion, Wayne Rooney would like to be a future Manchester United manager and I am pretty sure he is going to be.

“He is currently paying his dues in club management at the moment, gaining vital experience and getting better and better, so I am pretty sure he will manage Manchester United one day.”
