Manchester United are ready to make Wayne Rooney a club ambassador.
The Sun says he will be offered an ambassador's job at Manchester United at the end of his career.
Rooney's future remains in doubt, with the possibility of a switch to China or America still an option at the end of the season.
Former club Everton would also love to take him back to Goodison – if he is prepared to take a massive pay cut.
Yet when he eventually hangs up his boots, United top brass are keen to hand him an ambassadorial role alongside other former greats.
Ex-Old Trafford heroes such as Bryan Robson, Nemanja Vidic, Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole are among those who have similar positions.
