Derby boss Wayne Rooney has turned down a new offer from Manchester United.

Rooney turned down the chance to be one of Erik ten Hag's coaches at Manchester United.

Instead the Red Devils legend would only leave Derby to take on another No1 position.

The Athletic says the record goalscorer's name was informally proposed as a potential option.

However, he would not want to step back from being a manager to a coach.

Derby boss Rooney said no to Everton when they were looking for Rafa Benitez's replacement earlier in the season.
