Wayne Rooney faces complex situation as he leaves family behind to return to USA

Wayne Rooney has left his family behind amid reports he has agreed to move back to the States to manage his former club - a place his wife famously loathed.

Questions remain today as to whether Coleen, 36, and the couple’s four children will follow Wayne to Washington DC following his 18 months at the club when he signed in June 2018. According to reports in the US, the former England international is set to pen a “multiyear deal worth at least $1 million (£840,000) annually" with DC United.

However, due to family commitments back in the UK, sources close to the England great believe if he does sign his tenure could be much shorter - perhaps even months. They say he has been parachuted in to help save the club from finishing bottom as they currently languish at the foot of the MLS eastern table with Chicago.
