Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard could reignite their coaching careers in a surprising new country, claims ex-England boss Roy Hodgson.

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has reportedly landed a sizeable Match of the Day contract that includes 2026 World Cup duty.

Becoming “Mr Coleen Rooney” must “really suck” for Wayne, says Ulrika Jonsson, with the Manchester United icon being overtaken in the earning stakes.

Coleen Rooney has firmly stepped into the financial spotlight of the Rooney household, after her business activities and brand endorsements helped her company, CWR 2021, record a £1.3 million profit. Recent financial disclosures for the year ending September 2024 revealed that her company’s earnings more than tripled over a 12-month period, a significant leap reflecting the momentum behind her media and commercial ventures.

Wayne Rooney jetted off to Ibiza on holiday with his wife Coleen and his former Manchester United team-mates, but looked short of holiday spirit.
