Man United Legend Favourite to Land Managerial Job at Relegation-Threatened EPL Club

• Burnley are in the market for a new manager to succeed Sean Dyche who was recently sacked after a poor run of results
• Wayne Rooney is understood to be Burnley's No.1 target to take charge at Turf Moor in the coming days
• Other names floated for the job include Middlesbrough boss Chris Wilder, Sunderland's Alex Neil and ex-West Ham and legendary English tactician Sam Allardyce

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney is reportedly a favourite to take charge as the new Burnley boss.

The Clarets are currently without a substantive manager after they sacked Sean Dyche from the position, with Mike Jackson taking charge on a temporary basis.

Dyche was shown the door at Turf Moor following a string of poor results that saw them drop to the relegation zone.

However, Jackson has managed to steady the ship at Burnley, picking seven precious points from three matches to revive their hopes of securing their top-flight status.
