Wayne Rooney returns to Old Trafford to watch Man United's draw with Tottenham following Birmingham sacking earlier this month

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney was in attendance for his old club's 2-2 draw with Tottenham on Sunday, 12 days after his sacking from Birmingham City.

The former England captain was dismissed by Birmingham earlier this month after just 15 games in charge, during which he won only twice and the club slipped from sixth to 20th in the Championship.

Since Rooney replaced John Eustace in October, Birmingham have had the worst record in the Championship. They took 10 points from a possible 45, losing nine and winning just two.
