The former Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney is afraid about the manager job situation at Old Trafford. The lingering influence of Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United has contributed to the strain on those who have succeeded him. After 26 years as manager, the iconic Scot stepped down at the end of the 2012/13 season, bowing out in style with his 13th and final Premier League title. United, on the other hand, has failed to win the title since Ferguson's departure, employing and firing a succession of managers who have battled to fill the gap Ferguson left behind.
