Wayne Rooney told new family documentary will stop him returning to management 'any time soon' - despite Man Utd legend wanting to 'make a few things right' after Plymouth and Birmingham failures

Coleen, on the back of claiming a runner-up finish on the 2024 edition of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, has led the way when it comes to enhancing a family brand. She has been inundated with media offers and is said to now boast greater earning appeal than her Manchester United legend husband.

A £10 million ($13m) deal has been struck with streaming giants for an ‘At Home With’ production that will lift the lid on the Rooneys' private lives. With Wayne figuring prominently in that show, while taking on punditry duty, it is unlikely that he will be heading back to the dugout.

Rooney’s former United team-mate Brown, speaking to the best online casino affiliate Casino.org, told GOAL when asked about the ex-England captain becoming a reality TV star: “I didn’t know that! That will be good. Great family. His son, Kai, is doing really well at the club - great finisher. You hope he can keep working on that.

“If that is happening, I don’t think he will be a manager again any time soon! If Wayne got the opportunity, I’m sure he would like to make a few things that were wrong, right.”

Brown added on Rooney taking on another coaching post, having found the going tough in that department across spells with Derby, D.C. United, Birmingham and Plymouth: “He has always wanted to do it. There are a lot of players that want to do it. Whether it happens sooner rather than later, I’m not sure.

“I’m sure if an opportunity down the line comes in, with his experience of what he’s had and what he’s been through, he’ll understand what he got right and what he got wrong. You learn from that. It’s obviously up to a club and owner to look at you and understand that as well. I’m pretty sure he would love to do that. It’s something that he always wanted to do. It’s not gone right, but it doesn’t mean you give up.”

Rooney has committed to a big-money deal with the BBC that will see him become a regular on the new era of Match of the Day - which will be back without Gary Lineker in 2025-26. He has been enjoying more family time while free of the stresses that club management can deliver.
