Burnley and Derby County have been linked with a sensational move for England’s all-time leading goalscorer Wayne Rooney.
A report from the Telegraph on Monday evening suggested Rooney is in talks with the Rams over a player-coach role.
And he ha reportedly flown in from the United States overnight to conclude the switch.
But it was suggested in the US media that the 33-year-old former England captain was also a target of Burnley.
Rooney, a teammate of former Claret Chris McCann at DC United, still has over two seasons left on his contract with the Major League Soccer club.
The MLS season runs to the end of October, with Rooney therefore not free to leave until the January transfer window.
Rooney is England’s all-time record scorer with 53 goals in 120 appearances, as well as Manchester United’s record goalscorer with 253 goals in 559 appearances.
Rooney is eager to get into coaching when he retires, speaking In November to United’s official website, he said: “Yeah, it is something I am passionate about and I want to do.
”Obviously, I need to complete my badges, which I am doing over in the States.
"Hopefully, by the time I come back to England, I will have them completed and be in a position to accept or reject any offers I get.“

Interesting that he's looking at a player coach role and not player manager.
The idea takes a bit of getting used to but he could do quite well in management. |  |

Doesn't strike me as one to get into management. No doubt offer his knowledge as a attacking midfielder / forward coach. |  | | |
