Former Manchester United and England star Wayne Rooney ended his illustrious playing career on Friday to take up the job of managing Championship side Derby on a full-time basis.

Derby confirmed Rooney, 35, has agreed on a permanent deal until 2023, having succeeded Phillip Cocu on an interim basis in November.

“And I can promise everyone involved in the club and all our fans, my staff and I will leave no stone unturned in achieving the potential I have witnessed over the last 12 months of this historic football club.”Rooney, who captained Manchester United and England, hangs up his boots as the all-time leading goalscorer for United and his country.

Alex Ferguson, who signed Rooney for United, said: “He is England’s top goalscorer, he is Manchester United’s top goalscorer and he has had a fantastic career as a player. After an impressive showing for England at Euro 2004, he was signed by United in a £27 million transfer. Capable of predatory finishes and spectacular strikes in equal measure, Rooney was one of the world’s best forwards during his prime years.
