The former English superstar approached the team to initiate conversations about the long-term future.
A new GM presumably would want a say in whether the coach is offered a new contract. United has enlisted a search firm and hopes to hire someone this fall. The GM would report to chief executive Jason Levien, not to Kasper, as Rushton did, one person familiar with the plans said.“We asked to sit down and speak, because planning for next season needs to go ahead,” Rooney said.
It’s also no secret he is eager to build his portfolio to position himself for a Premier League job down the line. He is Manchester United’s all-time leading scorer and an English sporting hero.From a personal standpoint, United officials like Rooney. They had a good relationship with him when he was a player, though his decision in the summer of 2019 to return to English soccer at the end of that year left them a bit in the lurch.
Returning home was due largely for family reasons; his wife Coleen never felt comfortable living in the United States. As a coach, Rooney is here on his own. Coleen and their four children have remained in England and visit periodically.“Of course, you miss the kids and you miss your wife, but it’s been as good as it can be,” Rooney said. “I’ve been settled here. The family has been settled at home. It hasn’t been an issue at all.
The family dynamic was part of the reason the sides were initially hesitant to sign a long-term contract last summer. Now, though, Rooney would like to extend his stay. “There is a lot of uncertainty amongst the [assistant] coaches and the players as well,” he said. “I am sure the players would like to know what is in the future, in terms of the manager and the coaches. … If the club wants me to wait, so be it, but I need to make sure I look after myself and my coaches as well.”
