Wayne Rooney has agreed terms with D.C. United to become their next manager - despite wife Coleen 's reservations about living in Washington.
The Manchester United legend has decided to return to the United States a mere 16 days after announcing that he'd be leaving troubled Derby County following the club's relegation to League One. Rooney, who spent 18 months in Washington between June 2018 and December 2019 and became the MLS side's captain, is now back in North America to coach them, according to the Athletic.
Footage of the 35-year-old landing at Dulles international airport on Sunday night emerged across social media, with D.C. still licking their wounds after a 7-0 humiliation at the hands of Philadelphia Union on Saturday, a record-equalling loss. The result also keeps them firmly second-bottom of the Eastern Conference, with 17 points after as many games.
