WAYNE ROONEY has admitted he is “disappointed and frustrated” that he has not spoken to his DC United bosses for two months as his future hangs in the balance.
The Manchester United legend, 37, has been in charge of the MLS outfit since July 2022.
But with his contract due to expire in December, attempts to reach out to the owners to discuss an extension have failed.
And now the ex-England striker, who wants to remain in Washington, has spoken out about the situation.
Talking to the Washington Post, Rooney said: “I am slightly disappointed and frustrated there has been no contact for two months.
“We asked about a new deal. We can sit down and talk about it. We haven’t heard back.

“Either way, I can take whatever the situation is. I was hoping we would have, either way, at least spoken about it. That hasn’t been the case.
“We asked to sit down and speak because planning for next season needs to go ahead.
“So we asked two months ago where everything was at, are we moving forward or not moving forward — if that’s the case from their point of view — and we haven’t heard back.
“That’s frustrating because, either way, I’d rather know what’s the plan because we have to plan for next season. We need to do it earlier rather than later.

“The fact we haven’t heard back is probably signalling one thing, but I’m sure they’ll have their reasons for that. So I’ll wait and see.”
The Liverpool-born coach also opened up about how he misses his wife, Coleen, 37, and four children Kai, Klay, Kit, and Cass.
His family have not been out in America with him during his time at DC United.
Rooney added: “Of course, you miss the kids and you miss your wife, but it’s been as good as it can be.
“I’ve been settled here. The family has been settled at home. It hasn’t been an issue at all.”
DC United sit ninth out of 15 teams in the Eastern Conference having won nine of their 27 games so far this season.
