WAYNE ROONEY could be set for a shock return to English football as Birmingham eye up a move for the England legend.
The DC United boss, 37, cast doubt over his future with the MLS club earlier this week with his contract set to expire in December.
And now he could be given the perfect way out as Championship side Birmingham emerge as a possible destination for the Manchester United icon.
The Blues, part-owned by NFL legend Tom Brady, have made a strong start to the season under John Eustace – who has a contract until 2025.
But The Mail understand the club are preparing for the eventuality of Eustace leaving the club.
