Manchester United legend Roy Keane has warned Wayne Rooney about the job he has undertaken.

The head coach has left DC United in America and taken up the manager's job at Birmingham City.

The Championship club, who sit in sixth place, have sacked John Eustace despite pushback from supporters.

Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast, Keane said: "You've got Lampard, Gerrard and Rooney, but these are lucky lads.

“I was lucky to get the job at Sunderland, my first gig after having a half-decent career, but the problem is when you have a decent career, when you go through a difficult spell people throw it at you straight away.

"Wayne's stats at the moment are not great because he has had tough jobs.

“The first thing people will say is because you were a top player, does not mean you will be a top manager. But Wayne, like myself, is still learning our trade."
