It has been argued that Wayne Rooney, a Manchester United legend and the worst coach, could return to Manchester United.

England's Tribune reported on the 4th (Korea time) 'Rooney can return to coaching Manchester United'

Tribuna is also expected to return as coach after Rooney leaves Plymouth Argyle. Wes Brown, who was a teammate during his time at Manchester United, said Rooney would be a great talent for Manchester United's coach. Brown said he believes Rooney's guidance will help the young Manchester United striker develop.

Brown, Rooney's former Manchester United teammate, said: `Rooney would be absolutely brilliant as an attacking coach"He was one of the best goalscorers, and he was also the best playmaker. All the young strikers will want to hear his knowledge" he insisted.

Rooney was the best striker in his career. In Manchester United alone, he scored 253 goals and 139 assists in 559 games, making him the most goalscorer in the team's history. But the coach was different from the player. Rooney's managerial career has shown few signs of rebounding.

Rooney began his leadership career in Derby County shortly after his retirement from active duty. After coaching, he was appointed manager of Derby, but failed to prevent his team's relegation to the third division. However, his career did not turn around in the U.S., and DC United had to terminate his contract with Rooney without experiencing the playoffs.

Birmingham brought Rooney in last season. It was an unconventional decision. He suddenly replaced John Justus, who had a good performance, and appointed Rooney. Birmingham, which was seeking promotion at the time led by Justus, fell sharply after Rooney's appointment, and the performance seeking promotion fell to the relegation zone. Rooney was later replaced, but the situation was already too late. Birmingham were relegated to Ligue 1 and could not avoid the storm that Rooney brought.

The situation was no different at Plymouth Argyle, who was newly appointed ahead of this season. In the championship (second division), he had a disastrous record of four wins, six draws and 13 losses in 23 games. It fell to the bottom of the 24 Championship teams, and the team was on the verge of relegation. In the end, the club confirms that the club and Rooney have mutually agreed to separate immediately. Rooney is leaving the team with head coach Mike Fellen and coach Simon Ireland, announcing that Rooney will be replaced.

It is unclear whether fans will welcome Rooney's return to Manchester United, who is close to being disqualified as a leader. However, if you are a coach, not a coach, you can expect a little. Manchester United has been consistently sluggish in its offense since last season. From Rasmus Hoylun and Marker Rashford and Joshua Girksey, who are newly joined, there is only growing frustration with the players playing on the front line. Rooney, who was the best striker in his career, may help those players.

Tribune did not rate the possibility highly, saying it was still unclear whether coach Huven Amorim would agree to Rooney's appointment as coach.

Meanwhile, Manchester United's situation is not much different from legendary Rooney. Manchester United has fallen to 14th place in the league with a severe slump this season. He sought to rebound by appointing manager Amorim, but in the last four games, he has been in a swamp of four consecutive losses, continuing a frustrating trend.
