Roo, 36, snubbed an interview at boyhood club Everton earlier this season.

And he admitted: “The whole reason in me going into management is Manchester United. I got offered the job interview for the Everton job.

“I want to be Manchester United manager. I know I am not ready now but I have to plan everything I do to make sure one day it will happen.”

The Scouser is adored by United fans worldwide after becoming their greatest-ever goalscorer, with 253 goals during 13 trophy-laden seasons.

And he delivered a blunt message to former team-mate Marcus Rashford, who is considering quitting the Theatre of Dreams.

Rash, 24, has 93 United goals and ex-striker Roo wants him to focus on beating his record.

Speaking at a black-tie event in Manchester on Saturday, Rooney added: “To get the record and be United’s highest goal scorer is f***ing massive.

“What I hope is that Marcus Rashford f***ing gets his head out of his a*** and goes and breaks that record. He is a Manchester lad.”

Rooney also recalled to The Sun how he infuriated Roy Keane after he turned off a rugby league match to watch X Factor instead.

And he has also labelled former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo as "f***ing annoying", while branding Rio Ferdinand as ";arrogant".

The ex-DC United ace also revealed he told Sir Alex Ferguson to "f*** off" when he tried to sign him as a 14-year-old.

He remarked: "Sir Alex ­Ferguson tried to sign me when I was 14. He was on the phone to my mum and dad.

“They said, ‘Alex is on the phone, Manchester United want to sign you’. I said, ‘Tell him to f*** off. I want to play for Everton’.

“Then as time went on, I knew I had to play for Alex Ferguson. The reason I signed for United was Alex Ferguson.”
