Wayne Rooney urged to quit management by former Manchester United team-mate in savage dig after his disastrous spells at Birmingham and Plymouth

Patrice Evra has ripped into his former Manchester United colleague Wayne Rooney, who he claimed makes a team worse by becoming their manager.

The Frenchman, speaking with another Red Devils favourite Park Ji-sung, joked that he has told the Englishman to give up on his dream of coaching and cited his recent disastrous spell with Birmingham City.

'Thats why they [Birmingham] get relegated,' he told the South Korean via ShootforLoveYT.

'I said no please stop being a manager, it's not for you. And he keeps going somewhere and gets sacked again.
