Rooney has netted 10 times this season and continues to be vital cog in Ben Olsen’s side. The former English International earlier talked about his tenure at the MLS club, and admitted, he recently got offered managerial roles.
“There’s already offers which have been made, but at the minute I’m still a player,” he told Sky Sports.”I want to enjoy playing, then I’ll see which offers are right when I do finish.
“There’s an opportunity for me to go into management straight away, and when I do hang my boots up, that decision will be made on what the ambition of the club is, what my ambitions are and what’s right for both myself and that team.”
Rooney also revealed that his aim is to complete his coaching badges while he’s still in the USA, but still wants to focus at playing.
“It’s great for myself, who wants to go into management, to see these lads getting opportunities and it gives you hope that it will happen to you,” he explained.
With DC United vying for the MLS title, he certainly looking forward to achieve the crown, and is gradually leading towards it, while fans backing him up.
