Wayne Rooney is reportedly in line to become manager of Derby County, with the Manchester United legend nearing taking over from Phillip Cocu as Rams boss, according to The Sun.
Under-fire Cocu is facing increasing pressure in the east midlands, with Derby having won just one of their opening four league games of the season and languishing in 20th in the Championship.
The Rams host Watford on Friday evening and a defeat could spell the end of the Dutchman's tenure at Pride Park, who is teetering on the verge of being sacked by the club.
