Wayne Rooney pictured running first DC United training session with wife Coleen back home

Wayne Rooney has been pictured overseeing training at DC United ahead of taking over at the MLS outfit.

The former Manchester United and Everton star is set to officially take up the role at the team he previously played for. Rooney looks to have struck a deal that will see him earn £800,000 per annum whilst in the United States. He is expected to be in the dugout for their game this Thursday against Colombus Crew.

Rooney recently left his post at Derby County, whom he was unable to save from relegation last term. His time in charge of the Championship outfit was far from simple with the club dealing with constant financial problems. He said upon leaving: "My time at the club has been a rollercoaster of emotions, both highs and lows, but I have to say that I have enjoyed the challenge."
