Wayne Rooney is set to offered the chance to work as a pundit at this year's World Cup in Qatar, which could prolong his time apart from wife Coleen.
Rooney, 36, was unveiled as DC United manager earlier this month - his second job in management after a 20-month spell at Derby County. It's been a tough start for the former England international, picking up just one point from his first three MLS fixtures.
Rooney hasn't been joined in Washington by Coleen and his four children. Coleen struggled to settle in the city when the Manchester United icon played for DC between June 2018 and January 2020, eventually cutting his contract short to finish his carer in England.
