Wayne Rooney has been appointed as Birmingham City manager and is scheduled to visit Leeds United for the first time in nearly 20 years to give home faithful a chance they will relish
For the first time in nearly 20 years, Wayne Rooney will be at the heart of an Elland Road contest with Leeds United on New Year’s Day. Birmingham City have confirmed the appointment of the Manchester United legend as their new manager today.
Despite a 19-year playing career, England’s second-all-time top scorer only visited LS11 twice in his career for matches. As a Red Devils hero, it would be no surprise to see the Leeds faithful give Rooney the welcome they always wanted to and fully appreciate everything he did for that Manchester outfit.With Leeds in the top flight while Rooney was in charge at Derby County, the road did not head to West Yorkshire for him as a manager.
