Wayne Rooney agrees to return with England with Derby County in Player-Coach capacity

Wayne Rooney will be returning to English football from MLS side D.C. United in January, with the Manchester United legend agreeing on an 18-month deal with Derby County.

A man who has more goals to his name for the Red Devils and Three Lions than any other player will be linking up with the Rams in a player-coach capacity, as Goal revealed on Monday was to be the case.

The contract he has in place at Pride Park, which is due to run until the summer of 2021, includes the option for a further 12-month extension.
