Rooney Needed A Break From Management – Phil Bardsley

Wayne Rooney’s management break will do him a world of good, Phil Bardsley has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, managing Derby, D.C. United, Birmingham and Plymouth has been a hectic experience for Wayne since his retirement as a player, and it is clear that working non-stop took its toll on the MUFC legend.

Phil added that now is a good chance for Rooney to enjoy quality time with his family and loved ones.

His words, “I was chatting to Wayne last week and obviously he has had a hectic time in recent years when it comes to retiring, managing Derby, D.C. United, Birmingham and then Plymouth. It didn’t work out how he would’ve imagined, but working non-stop does take its toll on you as does being away from home for so long.

There is a lot that goes into management that people might not see, I think right now is a good chance for him to have some time with his family and away from management and coaching, I think it will do him a world of good. He’s enjoying time with the kids and Coleen is up to her own thing, he is in great spirits and is back in the gym by the looks of things.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
