Quoted by 90Min, Wayne Rooney said during an appearance as a pundit: "I definitely want to get back into management.
"The aim is to manage in the Premier League eventually, Manchester United or Everton are the dream jobs, but it's a process.
"In the next ten years, hopefully, I can be in with a chance of taking one of the top jobs.
"It was a setback what happened at Birmingham but I'm a fighter.
"You know as a manager part of the job is being sacked and having setbacks and it's about how you bounce back.
"Maybe the timing wasn't right when I went in at Birmingham, the fans didn't accept me from day one."
Rooney is yet to accept a new managerial job, having been sacked by Birmingham in just a few months.
He is still Man United's highest-ever goalscorer, with 253 goals to his name. A return as manager would be interesting - as long as it doesn't end how Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's reign ended.
