Ferguson wishes Rooney success in his coaching career

Manchester United’s legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson has wished former England captain Wayne Rooney success in his coaching career, Goal.com reported.

"He [Rooney] is England’s top goalscorer, he is Manchester United’s top goalscorer, and he has had a fantastic career as a player and it will give him a starting point," Ferguson said on the 'A Team Talk With Legends' panel. “But like anyone else it is a results industry and you need to get results. He will know that better than anyone. He has had a good start… and he has knowledge of the game, a presence about him and I hope he does well. It is a big step for him. There is no point being a manager because someone asks you to be. He went there as a player-coach, he then become player-manager, and now he has the manager's job and that's what he wanted. Hopefully he does well.”

Earlier, Wayne Rooney, 35, ended his professional football career and was appointed manager of Derby County.
