Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney will reportedly be joined in the US by a close relative as his wife Coleen and their four children stay in the UK.
Rooney was unveiled as the new manager of MLS side DC United on Tuesday after leaving Derby County earlier this summer. Coleen is not moving to Washington after criticising the city in texts to former friend Rebekah Vardy, the wife of Leicester star Jamie.
These texts were made public during the ongoing 'Wagatha Christie' trial. Rooney enjoyed an 18-month spell at DC United during the last few years of his glittering playing career, winning the club's MVP award and being named in the MLS' Best XI in 2018.
