Coleen Rooney and kids not joining Wayne in US after criticising life in Washington

Wayne Rooney's wife Coleen will not be joining him in the United States after his return to football management with DC United.

Rooney was unveiled as the new manager of the MLS side on Tuesday after walking out as boss of Derby County last month. Coleen is not following her husband to Washington after previously criticising the city in texts sent to former friend Rebekah Vardy.

Wayne, 36, spent two years at DC in the latter stages of his playing career between 2018 and 2020 scoring 23 goals in 48 MLS matches. According to The Sun , Coleen wants a close relative to keep Rooney company in the States and keep him on the straight and narrow. It is thought Coleen's brother Anthony McLoughlin could be accompanying Wayne to the U.S.
