WAYNE ROONEY got over his Birmingham City sacking by returning to the scene of so many former glories at Old Trafford.

The Manchester United and England legend was axed by the Championship club on January 2 after just two wins from 15 matches in charge.

The 38-year-old was appointed in October following the controversial dismissal of John Eustace, leaving Brum in sixth place.

But Rooney left St Andrew’s having led the club down the table to 20th, with his final match at the helm a 3-0 loss at Leeds on New Year’s Day.

After collecting his P45, the Liverpool-born star, who previously managed Derby and DC United, promised to take a well-deserved break with wife Coleen and their children.

And the Rooneys are out and about this afternoon, heading to Old Trafford to witness Manchester United take on Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

Wayne was spotted walking into the Theatre of Dreams alongside his sons Kai, 13, Klay, 10, Kit, seven, and Cass, five.

And Coleen was also by his side for the return to the club where he spent 13 years as a player.

Rooney became the world’s most-expensive teenager when he left boyhood side Everton for United in 2004 in a £25.6million deal.

The ex-striker went on to win five Premier League titles, the Champions League, the FA Cup, Fifa Club World Cup, Europa League and the League Cup four times.

He also scored 253 goals in 559 appearances – making him United’s all-time top scorer after surpassing Sir Bobby Charlton’s record.

Rooney returned to Everton in 2017 for a season before heading to DC United in the MLS for the 2018-19 campaign.

He then returned to England to complete his playing career with Derby before taking over as manager to begin his coaching career.

After leading the Rams to safety in his first season in charge, he was lauded the following year when they were relegated from the Championship due to off-the-field instability and a massive points deduction.

Rooney resigned after they were demoted to League One and moved on to play for MLS club DC United toward the end of his legendary career.

However, he struggled to make an impression in America, with only 13 victories and 26 defeats in 52 games prior to his ill-fated stint at Birmingham.
