I am equally excited to begin my coaching career at Derby County working with both the first team and academy.”Rooney, who is the record goal scorer for Manchester United and England, had another two years remaining on the contract he signed with D.C. United after joining from Everton in 2018.“After speaking to Wayne and understanding his difficult situation of being so far away from his family, we have accepted that this is the best decision for all parties,” said D.C. United co-chairmen Steve Kaplan and Jason Levien. “Wayne is an exceptional leader and one of the most iconic players to play the game, so we look forward to his continued contributions to the team this season.”The Washington-based team remains in contention for the MLS playoffs Cheap Inter Milan Soccer Team Uniform , so the striker’s stay in the United States could end in November.“I must also take this opportunity to thank D.C.

Rooney’s former England teammate, Frank Lampard, was in charge of Derby last season before moving to manage Chelsea.“Wayne Rooney is an extremely talented and top-class footballer,” said Phillip Cocu, who succeeded Lampard as Derby manager. “He has enjoyed a wonderful career www.thetopsoccer.com/club-team-kit/juventus , both in club football and for England, and he still has so much to give as well.“His credentials speak for themselves. But to have a player with his leadership, skill, experience, character and work ethic will be huge for us. He knows what it takes to succeed as a player and I have no doubt he will have a positive impact right across the club. The inspiration and motivation this can generate is massive for all of our players from the first team right through to the youngsters in the Academy. It is entirely in keeping with, and in support of, the club’s philosophy and approach.” PARIS (AP) — Fans expressed their anger at Neymar with chants and banners demanding his departure as Paris Saint-Germain started the defense of its French league title with a 3-0 win over Nimes on Sunday.Neymar, who reported late to training from his summer holidays and has been linked with a move away from PSG to Barcelona or Real Madrid Cheap Liverpool Soccer Team Uniform , was not included in coach Thomas Tuchel’s squad.Some PSG hardcore fans mocked Neymar’s behavior with one banner at the Parc des Princes saying “Get lost Neymar”.Neymar, who became the most expensive player in the world when he moved from Barcelona to PSG for 222 million euros (about $250 million) in 2017, has made clear in recent weeks that he wants to leave the club.In his absence, PSG dominated from the start and monopolized possession to camp in Nimes’ half of the pitch.Edinson Cavani put the hosts in the lead from the penalty spot in the first half before Kylian Mbappe scored his 63rd league goal near the hour mark and then set up Angel Di Maria’s goal.Mbappe was in superb form with his trademark dribbles and bursts of speed, while new signing Pablo Sarabia worked well with his teammates and delivered several good passes from the right flank which destabilized the visitors’ defense.Nimes held out until Pablo Martinez was sanctioned for an unintentional hand ball in the box following a VAR review.
