Wayne Rooney is leaving Derby County in order to improve his reputation. There is a time and a place for this.
According to a source, Wayne Rooney will join the club once the final details are worked out and he gets a work visa.
The news was reported by The Athletic.
Rooney is the replacement for Hernan Losada. The Black-and-Red's results haven't improved since interim manager Chad Ashton took over, and last Friday's 0-7 loss to the Philadelphia Union was no exception. DC United is currently tied with Chicago for the most points in Major League Soccer.
The MLS chat is on the FC Daily.
Rooney spent fifteen months as a player in the last year. There was a feeling that he could have made a bigger impact had he stayed for the full three-and-a-half year contract.
He became Derby's manager after Phillip Cocu was fired after a poor start to the season. Derby avoided the drop on the last day of the season.
Things became more difficult during the season. Derby was docked 12 points for entering administration. Nine points were deducted from the Rams for violating accounting rules. The penalties proved too great and the Rams were demoted.
Rooney stepped down after the season ended. He decided to return to D.C. United because he thought it was the best place for his managerial ambitions.
Rooney was thought to be one of the best players of his generation. He has scored more goals for Manchester United than anyone else. He has 53 goals in 120 appearances for the England national team and is the most appearances for an outfielder.
Rooney scored his first league goal just days before his 17th birthday, a last-minute winner against Arsenal, as he began his professional career withEverton.
After joining Manchester United, Rooney went on to win five premier league titles, one FA cup, three league cups, and one european title He was part of the England teams that competed in the World Cup in 2006-2010.
