Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney could be a contender for the manager's job at Birmingham City.

The former England striker is currently managing in the United States with DC United.

While Rooney is committed to the project in Washington DC, The Mirror suggests that a return to England would be tempting.

Birmingham are not eager to make a managerial change at the moment, as the club is performing to a high standard.

However, head coach John Eustace has been linked with bigger clubs over the past few weeks.

Should he be prized away by another team, City would turn to Rooney as the alternative.
