Wayne Rooney appeared to distance himself from the speculation currently linking the Derby manager with the now vacant role at the helm of Premier League side Burnley.
The Clarets shocked everyone with their decision to dismiss Sean Dyche from his post after just under a decade in charge. Dyche oversaw one of the most successful periods in the club's history, securing promotion to the Premier League twice as well as two top-half finishes in the top flight alongside a Europa League run.
Attention has swiftly turned to who will be identified as his successor, with many linking Rooney to the role given the way he has operated under testing circumstances while in charge of Derby. The Rams have been deducted a total of 21 points since the start of the season due to financial troubles at boardroom level.
