On the final day of the 2020/2021 season, Rooney was able to lead Derby to safety. He was unable to duplicate the feat this time, as they were relegated to the third division of English football.

Their chances of survival were severely harmed in November when the English Football League docked them 21 points and they went into administration.

Rooney began his management career at Derby after retiring from MLS club DC United in November 2020.

The former England and Manchester United striker stated that he will only stay at Derby County next season provided new ownership is found, with American businessman Chris Kirchner listed as the favoured bidder.

The 36-year-old has previously rejected the opportunity to manage former club Everton this season, while also stating that a return to Old Trafford would be his “dream job.”

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
