“Obviously it’s a massive job,” he told Sky Sports when speaking about Ten Hag’s appointment. “It’s good to see they’ve put a manager in there.
“It looks like they’re going to give him a bit of time, from what I’ve seen. I’m sure they’re going to let him rebuild the squad because that needs to happen.”
Rooney said the United faithful must remain patient with Ten Hag, especially in the short-term, ahead of a potential title shot in the future. The 36-year-old added: “I think the fans have to be a little bit patient with it because it’s not going to change overnight or as quick as you would like.
“So they need to be a little patient, as long as they see progression and players working and playing for the shirt, with a view of maybe challenging for the title in the next three years.
“I think United fans need to be realistic with that and that’s what I’m sure the club are hoping for. I think it’s positive news today for Manchester United fans.”
