Wayne Rooney was spotted boarding a flight to Washington, DC as a return to management draws ever closer.
The former England international has been out of work since walking away from Derby County in June. However, he doesn't look likely to be out of the game for too long, with DC United set to appoint him as manager a few short years after he played for the MLS club.
Rooney's wife Coleen seems likely to be less than pleased with the links. Texts made public during the Wagatha Christie trial appeared to show she was not the biggest fan of the US capital city, describing it as "quite behind the UK". The 36-year-old former striker spent two seasons in MLS with DC United, scoring 25 times in 52 appearances. He eventually left in 2020 to join Derby County, where he later took over as manager after Philip Cocu's dismissal.
