Wayne Rooney has no plans to walk away from Derby County despite the ongoing off-field issues at the East Midlands club, according to journalist Alan Nixon. We are less than two months away from the start of the League One season and just weeks away from when pre-season is scheduled to begin but with Chris Kirchner’s takeover bid having seemingly broken down, the Rams’ preparations for 2022/23 have been halted by ongoing delays in the search for new owners.

Posted on by index

Derby County manager Wayne Rooney is eyeing a Manchester United reunion at the club following his interest in Burnley right-back Phil Bardsley. Wayne Rooney is said to be keen on the free transfer signing of the experienced Bardsleyas stated by the report from Derbyshire Live.


36-year-old Bardsley and Rooney were teammates at Manchester United for several years before the former left the club. Bardsley has a few weeks left on his contract at Burnley and he’s set to depart the club as a free agent thus making him available for interested clubs such as Derby County. He can join the Rams as a free transfer when his Burnley contract runs out at the end of next month. Bardsley was part of the Burnley team that suffered heartbreak on the final day of the Premier League season. The Clarets needed to match the result of Leeds United on the final day of the season to avoid the drop to the English Championship, but they were unable to do so after losing 2-1 at home to Newcastle United, while Leeds United won by the same 2-1 scoreline over nine-man Brentford who had SergiCanos sent off in the second half for two yellow cards and KristofferAjer had to go off due to injury with three substitutions made.
