The Red Devils' all-time leading goalscorer and former captain has called for patience at the Theatre of Dreams
Wayne Rooney believes Manchester United need "two or three years" to return to the top of English football as the former Red Devils captain highlighted the models of Liverpool and Manchester City.
Rooney enjoyed great success at Old Trafford, where he became the club's all-time leading goalscorer while winning five Premier League titles and the Champions League among other silverware.
The 34-year-old, who left the club in 2017 following 13 years in Manchester, was also part of the last United team to win the Premier League in 2012-13.
