Wayne Rooney’s agent is co-operating with a Football Association investigation into an allegation that he was secretly paying staff and player wages at Derby County.
Paul Stretford, one of the most high-profile representatives in England whose clients include Harry Maguire, could be fined or have his licence suspended if found guilty.
As first reported by The Telegraph, Stretford allegedly wrote a cheque of £1.6m to cover salaries in May at the financially-stricken club.
