Wayne Rooney has revealed he rejected the chance to have an interview for the vacant manager’s job at former club Everton.
Rooney is currently in charge of crisis-torn Championship club Derby and attracted interest from Everton after they sacked Rafael Benitez earlier this month.
Yet despite Rooney’s emotional ties to Everton, his boyhood club where he made his debut aged 16, the former England captain said he had chosen not to pursue the opportunity.
‘They approached my agent and asked me to interview for the job which I turned down,’ he said.
