'Rooney has football in his blood' - Man Utd legend tipped to...

Rooney is predicted to be successful in his tenure at Huddersfield Town.

Given that the Manchester United icon is being connected to the open managerial role at Huddersfield Town, Wayne

Rooney has been advised that his managerial breakthrough is inevitable.

Joe Jacobson, a former EFL star, thinks Rooney has the motivation to succeed in the dugout and has predicted him

for a future position with the Terriers despite his lacklustre stints at Plymouth Argyle and Birmingham City.

After Michael Duff left, Huddersfield Town is currently looking for a permanent manager.

The League One team, who unexpectedly qualified for the playoffs for a large chunk of the 2024–25 campaign before

seeing a sharp decline in performance, would present Rooney with a chance to restore his managerial reputation

while still being near his Cheshire family.

In an interview with Football League World, Jacobson acknowledged Huddersfield’s present difficulties but said

Rooney’s perseverance might finally bring him triumph.

“Huddersfield is a big club, but I think they let Michael Duff go way too soon,” he stated.

“Wayne Rooney has a strong desire to become a manager and has a football background, but he hasn’t been able to

accomplish so yet. “I do believe he will succeed at some point,” Jacobson said.

Jacobson remained unsure when asked if Rooney would be a good fit at Huddersfield, but he reaffirmed his faith in

the former England captain’s abilities.

He went on, “Is Huddersfield a good fit? You would have to talk to Wayne Rooney to find out, but I think he will

eventually succeed as a manager.

Huddersfield will stay in League One for the 2025–26 season after a dismal finish to the season that included five

straight losses and seven losses in their last eight games.
