Wayne Rooney has encouraged Derby County supporters that he wishes to be the manager who heads the Rams into the future.\u201cI stick with it because I\u2019ve got a duty to the players, to the staff, who I\u2019ve been speaking to and talking about staying together and loyalty\u201d he said in an interview with BBC Sport.<\/p>\n
Rooney has been commended for his efforts in exceptionally tough circumstances, and the Rams are still in with a prospect of pulling off what will be football\u2019s greatest ever turnaround. Despite County\u2019s hardships, the veteran England international has been loyal to the club.<\/p>\n
This would be a massive letdown if Rooney did not return next season, but his subsequent sentiments imply that he is devoted to the goal. He is England\u2019s all-time top goalscorer with 53 goals and is also Manchester United\u2019s all-time highest scorer, joined Derby like a player-coach a year ago following 35 appearances for MLS side DC United.<\/p>\n
After entering United as an 18-year-old in 2004, Rooney netted a club-record 253 goals, winning the Premier League 5 times, the FA Cup once, the League Cup three times, the Champions League once, and the Europa League in his last season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
