Wayne Rooney has been told the Birmingham City manager's job is his if he wants it.

The Championship club made room for Rooney yesterday when sacking John Eustace despite sitting sixth on the table.

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney is available after resigning as coach of DC United on Sunday.

The Sun says Birmingham are ready to offer Rooney £1.5million-a-year to bring him to St Andrews.

The £29,000-a-week wages are a massive jump on the £9,000-a-week Eustace had been earning.
