Wayne Rooney has paid tribute to his coaches at DC United.

The 34-year-old is leaving the MLS after one season and will return to England with Derby County in January.

"From what I've seen, coaching - I can only speak for the coaches [at D.C. United], I don't know exactly what the other coaches are doing - the coaches here have been good," he told The Athletic.

"I do see the way other teams are set up and how teams want to play. I feel maybe - sometimes you see it with the U.S. national team - sometimes players can get over-coached.

"I feel that maybe be where the coaches over here are trying to do too much with the players. It's a simple game but they see a coach like [Pep] Guardiola and they say 'oh we have to try and do what he does,' and they shouldn't, necessarily."
