Wayne Rooney signs new multi-million media rights deal with marketing firm Octagon to boost profile in North America

DC United striker and his family set to secure endorsements for sports, food, phones, cars — and possibly reality TV shows



WAYNE ROONEY has signed a multi-million pound marketing deal in the US that will make him one of the MLS' highest earners.

The DC United forward, 32, has signed a family promotions contract with *marketing giant Octagon – who also work with American superstars Stephen Curry and Michael Phelps.

The Sun revealed last week how Rooney was set to sign a marketing and media rights deal that will see him and his family secure endorsements for sports, food, phones, cars — and possibly reality TV shows.

And it means that Rooney's earning potential could now soar to the levels that helped David Beckham bank £175million during his five years at LA Galaxy.

Rooney exploded onto the MLS scene with a magnificent injury-time tackle and assist as DC beat Orlando 3-2.

Footage of the dramatic seconds went viral and three days later England's record scorer netted twice in another win over Portland.

But New York Red Bulls fans showed not all of the MLS are backing Rooney's move to the States when they unfurled a huge banner mocking him in their 1-0 win yesterday.

DC announced the deal with the Eastern Conference to work alongside the Triple S Sports agency run by Paul Stretford, Rooney's agent.

Stretford commented: “Octagon are one of the most respected sports rights sales agencies and fit perfectly with our wider commercial ambitions for the Wayne Rooney brand throughout North America.

“To ensure that his brand capitalises from his on field achievements and off pitch fame, we felt it was important to build a partnership with a business that is a leader in its field and hungry to generate commercial opportunities.”

When originally reported the story, a source revealed to The Sun: “Things have really fallen into place for Wayne and his family so far and he’s loving life in America.

“This deal was a key part of his and Coleen’s plan to move there and will open them up to a completely new audience.

“The promotion deals will feature all the Rooneys. Brands are already lining up to work with him — there is even talk of a reality TV series.”

This brash soccer star could be US’ next David Beckham



Watch out, David Beckham. Wayne Rooney is coming for your crown.

This summer, the 32-year-old English soccer star, prostitute-shagger and hair-transplant recipient landed himself a reported $15 million, 3¹/₂-year gig with arguably the worst Major League Soccer team in the United States: D.C. United.

On top of that, Rooney scored a promotions contract with the marketing firm Octagon that The Sun in the UK reports could net him more than $225 million and put him on track to become one of the richest athletes in America.

“When David Beckham came over, he invented this role that Rooney is playing himself: the aging European superstar who comes and joins a team of middling, mostly American players,” said George Quraishi, managing editor for The Athletic Soccer.

But Rooney is refusing to phone it in and cash out. Thanks to the British import’s stellar performance so far, D.C. United has jumped out of last-place and is a genuine playoff contender.

Rooney, who is married to Coleen Rooney, 32, and has four children, has caused nearly as much of a stir off the field as on.

In 2004, the UK’s Sunday Mirror exposed Rooney’s proclivity for prostitutes, including one to whom he gave his autograph as a souvenir and a then-48-year-old grandmother, who called herself “Auld Slapper.”

The granny denied it happened.

Rooney owned up to his dirty deeds, though, saying, “Foolish as it now seems, I did on occasions visit massage parlors and prostitutes.”

Coleen, who has been with Rooney since they were teenagers, stood by the soccer player, and married him four years later. But just one year after their wedding, he payed a visit to another prostitute. Coleen was pregnant with their first son, Kai, at the time.

Last August, he was arrested for drunken driving in a car belonging to a UK party girl, who claimed she and the soccer star shared a kiss that evening. Coleen, pregnant with their fourth child, forgave the philandering footballer yet again.

Rooney’s long list of indiscretions only seems to bolster his fans’ adoration.

“Soccer fans . . . find it hard to hold that all against Rooney because he’s sort of a working-class hero in a way,” Quraishi said. “David Beckham strived to shed that image, even though they both came from modest backgrounds.”

While Beckham has fashioned himself into an upmarket style icon, Rooney, who is nicknamed “Shrek,” got hair plugs and shilled for the transplant clinic’s Web site in 2011, tweeting: “Just to confirm to all my followers, I have had a hair transplant. I was going bald at 25, why not? I’m delighted with the result.”

Quraishi defines Beckham and Rooney’s contrasting image like so: “David Beckham married a Spice Girl. Wayne Rooney married Coleen.”

The couple grew up together in Croxteth, Liverpool, and have four children: Kai, 8, Klay, Kit, 2, and 6- month-old Cass. Rooney was raised in public housing and his mother, Jeanette, still works as a cafeteria lady at the De La Salle Academy in Liverpool.

Rooney made his professional soccer debut at age 16. He played for Everton, Manchester United and Everton again before signing with D.C. United. Now that he’s worth an estimated $160 million, he and Coleen have comfortably transitioned to the high life. The couple flies private and picked up a $15 million mansion in Washington.

Coleen, one of England’s most famous WAGs (wives and girlfriends), keeps the tabloids drooling over her designer duds, such as the $800 Gucci T-shirt she wore last month on a shopping trip in their new city.

While Washington is more low key environment than the limelight-loving athlete is used to, Quraishi said the city is ideal for Rooney:

“With [his] history and the blemishes on his record, moving to DC is a perfect fit for him.”

Reborn in the USA: England's record goalscorer Wayne Rooney is thriving on the challenge of his new life with DC United

* Wayne Rooney moved to US on a three-and-a-half year deal from Everton in July
* England's record goalscorer wears the air of a man who has had a burden lifted
* The 32-year-old is popular here, thriving - he is playing like he did in his pomp
* He's still grappling with idea that he has more freedom months after he arrived

The sky over America's capital is different shades of grey and black and the newspaper headlines say the storm of a lifetime is closing in on the eastern seaboard.

The DC United training pitch is marooned in the middle of a giant parking lot. A couple of hundred yards away, Metro trains rise up into the gloom from the darkness of a tunnel and rumble away towards the suburbs. The rusting, decaying hulk of RFK Stadium squats nearby.

It is Tuesday morning and before training, Wayne Rooney and his team-mates change at the stadium. It carries the air of a condemned building. Plastic buckets line the dank corridors, catching water leaking from the ceiling. It's a short drive across an urban no-man's-land of pooling water and potholes and weeds to the training pitch.


Wayne Rooney arrived in the United States on a three-and-a-half year deal from Everton in July

A new training ground is promised next year but for now, this is it. Some staff arrive on golf buggies. Rooney and most of his team-mates make the short journey in a white mini-bus. They wander through a gap in the fencing, which is covered by frayed black sheeting. One local newspaper reporter stands on the sideline.

Rooney comes over to say hello. Not quite Carrington but that doesn't bother him. England's greatest goalscorer is not that type, never has been. We always said he was the last of the street footballers. This feels a bit like he's come home. In DC they keep telling you they like their sportsmen gritty and blue-collar here. Rooney's made to measure.

'When Wayne arrived in the summer,' says Dave Kasper, the club's general manager, 'the team was away on a road trip on the west coast so his first training session was a really hot day, 12 academy kids and Wayne. At the end, Wayne picks up the cones and starts walking in with the equipment. There wouldn't be a lot of first-team players doing that.'

Rooney fits in. He's always done that. When he arrived on a three-and-a-half year deal from Everton to start his American adventure in July, he didn't make any special demands. He flies in economy with the other players to away games. He shares a hotel room for the first time in his career when they're on the road.

'I share with our centre-half, Steve Birnbaum,' he says with a wry smile. 'If we're watching something, he leaves his laptop on when he goes to sleep, which is a bit annoying. I wake up in the morning and it's still on.'

The players jog a lap of the training pitch. They play a practice match. Things start to break up. Rooney pings pass after pass to a young player standing on the edge of the area. The kid barely has to move an inch for any of them. Rooney wanders back to the mini-bus, back to RFK, back to the buckets in the corridor.

Since his first appearance in mid-July, DC United have gone from rock bottom of the MLS Eastern Conference to within touching distance of a place in the end-of-season play-offs. He is popular here, thriving. He is playing like he did in his pomp. After the travails of the last couple of years in England, Rooney wears the air of a man who has had a burden lifted from his shoulders.

'Yeah, I think I'm happy,' he says. 'Not that I wasn't happy, but the last couple of years... it was difficult to be captain of Man United when you're not playing, to walk in the dressing room. You get out of the car in the morning and you're, like, oh... It was difficult period for us so you put your strong face on to keep the players up, keep their spirits up. You're almost putting an act on, which was tough.

'Then to go to Everton, different managers, a tough season for us all. Now, to come here, knowing it was going to be challenging to make the play-offs and seeing the way the team has responded to me arriving, and the way I've responded to them, has been great. If we can continue like that, we'll all be happy.'


Rooney is distrustful of any suggestion he was marginalised at Manchester United or Everton



Ben Olsen, the DC coach, is sitting in a small room at RFK. He is a bright, articulate man. When he was a player at Nottingham Forest, he had a reputation for never shirking a confrontation. Rooney has transformed his season, as well as the club's.

'In a lot of ways, he is more impactful with this group than even I can be,' says Olsen candidly. 'That's the harsh reality. When a guy like Wayne comes in, he is a selfless guy, he's about the group, he's about winning. To have those three attributes when you're captain — then you add in that he's of high quality from a soccer standpoint — he has been a real blessing, for the group and myself.'

He mentions The Play, too. Everybody mentions The Play. Everybody knows about The Play — 20 seconds of action that proved DC United hadn't signed a 32-year-old guy who had come to the States to pick up a last pay-cheque. It tells fans their club have not signed Rooney at Rest. It tells them they have signed Rooney Redux.

It starts with DC United desperately pressing for a winner in the dying seconds of a tied game against Orlando City on August 12. Olsen sends DC's keeper up for a corner and when the ball is cleared, it appears Orlando's Will Johnson is going to be able to pass it into an empty net as he advances beyond the halfway line.

But Rooney gives chase and as Johnson is about to shoot, tackles him and sends him flying. Rooney gets up and sets off back towards the Orlando goal. Three touches and he sends a raking 50-yard pass into the path of Luciano Acosta, who rises to head past the Orlando keeper for a 3-2 victory. Footage of the goal goes viral.

'How Wayne Rooney won over his doubters in 20 seconds,' says a headline in the New York Times.

Rooney comes out of the RFK changing room, past the leaks in the ceiling and the buckets in the corridor, and climbs into the passenger seat of a black SUV. It takes us out of the stadium, across the lot and out on to Washington's concrete freeways. It's September 11 and American flags line the bridge across the Potomac River.

We drive past the Pentagon. Rooney mentions the plane the terrorists crashed into it. The next day, at DC United's brand new Audi Field stadium, they hand out team caps in army camouflage before the game against Minnesota United.

Rooney half-turns round so he can face us in the back seat. Nearly three months after he arrived in the States, he's still grappling with the idea that he has more freedom.

The first act of his life was childhood. The second act was superstardom. There was no in-between. Now scenes from the third act steal from his lips like the story of a man who has recovered something that was lost.

Rooney says that once or twice, after home games, he and a couple of team-mates have gone to a nearby restaurant popular with fans for something to eat. No one bothers them. He says that, earlier in the week, after his sons had been dropped off at their new school, he wandered round the Washington National Cathedral, enjoying its peace and gazing up at its stained glass windows.

He says a couple of months ago, he walked from Capitol Hill, down the National Mall to the Washington Monument then to the White House and on to the Lincoln Memorial, then across the Arlington Memorial Bridge to the other side of the Potomac River and along the Mount Vernon Trail, past the Pentagon and back to his hotel. Before he knew it, he had walked 18 miles.


Rooney is popular at DC United, thriving - the 32-year-old is playing like he did in his pomp

He's taken his family 10-pin bowling and to the cinema. He went to a store to buy his eldest son Fortnite. Small things but things he could never take for granted in England. 'I've loved it,' he says. Another time, near the Washington Monument, he came across a festival paying homage to Catalonia, with folk music and Catalonian food. How strange it seemed to him to be allowed to be free. 'It was nice to be able to chill out with everyone else,' he says, 'and be part of society again.'

The SUV pulls into an underground garage. Rooney gets in a lift that takes us to the top of the 31-storey CEB Tower, the tallest building in Washington. He poses for pictures. Arlington Cemetery fans out below. We gaze out to the south. Way out there somewhere, they're saying, Hurricane Florence is ready to wreak havoc. The television screen says DC has declared a state of emergency.

Rooney talks about the third act. Why Washington, for a start? Why not follow the Beckham-Gerrard-Zlatan star trail to the LA Galaxy or the bright lights to New York City? Rooney shakes his head. His wife, Coleen, and their four sons arrived in Washington last week, the boys have started at school and the family have settled into a new home 45 minutes north in Maryland.

'If you take London, I'd find it difficult to live there,' says Rooney. 'It's too busy. I wouldn't want to live somewhere that busy. It's similar to New York. LA obviously has its quieter areas but there is a lot of partying and a lot of things going on, whereas I felt here, it's got a good mix of everything.

'It's the capital but it doesn't feel like London or New York. It feels spacious. On the outskirts, where I'm living, there's nice greenery, which I'm used to. I felt it was the right place to move my family.'

He is reminded that he once said he would never play abroad. He smiles at that memory. 'When you're younger, you never really look that far ahead,' he says. 'Once, I would never have imagined playing abroad. Life changes. You need to make decisions in terms of your career as well. The more I looked at it, the more I thought it was a good thing for me to do.

'The only way I was coming out here was if the family was comfortable doing that. It's a good thing for us. Something different. A new challenge. A new school for the kids, make new friends, different lifestyle, so it will help them and help us as a family.'

Rooney speaks for an hour. He is distrustful of any suggestion he was marginalised at United or Everton. He is distrustful of ego. He will sacrifice himself for the team if it means success for the team but he will admit he found it hard not playing as much when Jose Mourinho became manager.

He refuses to criticise Mourinho even though he knows it's open season on the Portuguese.

'I still think they're title contenders,' he says. 'Mourinho has taken a lot of stick, but the players have to stand up. He puts them on the pitch, sets the team up and he can only do so much. The players have to stand up and do it for themselves.'


He admits he found it hard not playing as much when Jose Mourinho became boss at United

Rooney goes down to the parking garage. He wants to get home in time to catch the second half of England-Switzerland on TV. He enjoyed watching the World Cup as a fan and was impressed with the job Gareth Southgate did. Like Southgate, he is worried by a lack of first-team opportunities for England stars.

On Wednesday night, Rooney starts at centre forward against Minnesota United. Adrian Heath, another former Evertonian, is the Minnesota manager. Rooney tells him his dad wanted to call him Adrian in his honour, but his mother forbade it.

DC United aren't at their best but watching Rooney is still a joy. His passing range is still breathtaking. His awareness of what is going on around him is still other-worldly. His touch is still beautiful. Some of his exchanges with Acosta, the diminutive Argentine whose own play has been transformed by Rooney's arrival, are the best moments of the match.

The standard of play is not the same as the Premier League, of course. Maybe that is why sometimes it feels as if we're watching Rooney in his prime. It is easier for him to dominate but after his struggles, it is good to see him bestriding a game again.

DC go a goal behind early in the second half. Olsen brings centre forward Darren Mattocks off the bench and Rooney drops back into midfield. DC United rally. They get an equaliser and four minutes later, Mattocks scores the winner. It brings them within two points of Montreal Impact in the race for the last play-off place. Six of DC's last seven games are at home.

At the end, Rooney and his team-mates walk over to where the Barra Brava, District Ultras and Screaming Eagles fans groups congregate. Rooney gives his boots to a couple of kids in the front row.

Then 15 minutes after the final whistle, the locker room is opened up to the press. The level of access for reporters in the States still amuses Rooney. A towel round his waist, he stands up to answer questions. When the reporters have melted away, he sits in front of his locker and gets ready for the journey home.

'He has endeared himself to the fans here not just because he scores goals and makes assists,' says Steven Goff, the Washington Post's respected soccer writer, 'but because he works his ass off.

'This is a city where the ice hockey team, the Capitals, has just won the Stanley Cup and have the best player in the world, Alex Ovechkin, there are superstars on the NBA team and the major league baseball team and where the Washington Redskins suck the oxygen out of the room whether they're doing well or not. In that context, DC United have been invisible recently. They were a forgotten entity but the signing of Rooney has changed that.'


Nearly three months after he arrived, he's still grappling with idea that he has more freedom. On Wednesday night, Rooney started at centre forward against Minnesota United

Rooney climbs into the passenger seat for the drive back to Maryland. He has a driver. He is halfway through a two-year ban for drink-driving and completed 100 hours of community service that were part of his punishment. The punishment was actually, he says, something of a privilege.

'I deserved the community service for what I'd done, but I did wonder how it would go. I went to a garden centre at Macclesfield, working with adults with learning difficulties, so I was just helping with different things, whether it was planting seeds or making Christmas decorations with them.

'To do something with people who aren't as privileged as we are was great. They sent me a video last week of them dancing. It was something I never thought I'd do.

'I've never worked. I went straight into football after school. The staff were really good and I finished it just before I came here. When I came back from holiday, I had three days before flying out here and I went to see them, took some cakes and stuff. When I'm back in England, I'll go and visit them. They were really good to me.'

The torrential rain, which was promised for this evening in the American capital, never came. On the car radio, it says the hurricane might not affect Washington at all. The storm is passing.

Everton's owner just didn't want me

Wayne Rooney has revealed how his dream of helping boyhood club Everton win their first trophy for more than 20 years came to an end when it gradually became evident that owner Farhad Moshiri did not want to keep him.

Rooney left Manchester United for Everton in July 2017 and United helped to facilitate the deal by paying some of his wages. Rooney played well to begin with but offered to drop back into midfield to help the team and as the season progressed doubts grew about Moshiri's intentions.

'It wasn't easy to leave United,' Rooney says, 'but I wasn't playing and that was difficult and Everton was the main reason why I left. I wanted to help them move forward and win the first trophy since 1995. That was always a dream of mine. I was a bit disappointed.


Everton owner Farhad Moshiri did not want to keep Rooney at Goodison Park for this season

'It wasn't just about ending my career at Everton. I could see the club were trying to move forward and I wanted to be part of that.

'I think it was the owner's decision. I was made aware of interest from DC and an article in the newspaper about it and I started to think: "What's going on here? Is there something being said?"

'So I went in to see Sam Allardyce and said: "Listen I'm not a kid. What's going on? Do you want me here or not?" To be fair to Sam he was probably the honest one. He said if he was still there next season I mightn't play as much but he still wanted me to be here and be a big part of things. Then he said: "But I'm not sure the owner has the same opinion".

'Trying to get an honest answer out of the owner took three months. All I wanted was clarity. There were some positives: my four children seeing me play for Everton. Even though my youngest two won't remember, we still have the pictures to look back on when they're older of me at Goodison. But I was just left a bit sad.'

'They have to be better': Wayne Rooney hits out at Mourinho's critics and insists Manchester United players must take a look at themselves

* Wayne Rooney believes Manchester United's players need to perform better
* He says that Jose Mourinho is an easy target, and there's only so much he can do
* Rooney has called on players to 'stand up and be counted' if they're to improve

Wayne Rooney has hit out at Jose Mourinho's critics, claiming that the under-fire Manchester United manager is not being backed up by the players.

Manchester United have had a poor start to the season, sitting in eighth place in the Premier League, having yielded just 13 points from eight games.

They picked up their first win since September 19 at the weekend, although they left it late to come from behind and defeat struggling Newcastle.

'For the players and the manager, it has been a tough start to the season. I know Jose is getting a load of stick but the players have to stand up,' said Rooney, according to the Mirror.

'They have to be counted and they have to be better.'

Manchester United went 2-0 down very early on against Newcastle at the weekend and looked pedestrian in the first half. A second-half comeback spared their blushes.

Jose Mourinho has come under increasing pressure after not getting the results which has been compounded by a very public falling out with Paul Pogba and other players in the squad. He has claimed he didn't get the financial backing he needed in the summer.

Big-money signing Alexis Sanchez, who scored his first goal of the season against the Magpies, has come under scrutiny for his performances and misfiring Romelu Lukaku has also faced criticism.

It's also been difficult for Mourinho to decide on a solid pairing at centre back.

United legend Rooney, who now plays for MLS club DC United, says the club has faced a similar situation under Louis van Gaal.

'I said the same thing when Louis van Gaal was there. He took a lot of stick but behind closed doors I said to the players we have to be doing better.

'Personally I think he set us up brilliantly, but we didn't produce on the pitch. So I am sure that is getting said behind the scenes now.'

Rooney says it's up to the players to put in the performances and Mourinho is an easy target for United's detractors.

'The manager can do so much but then it is down to the players on the pitch to produce. Probably collectively it is a bit of everything coming together, but Jose is an easy target,' he added.

Manchester United have tough week ahead following the international break, with a trip to Chelsea followed by a visit from Juventus. Whether it's a Mourinho problem or a player problem, fans will be hoping a solution can be found before then.

'You've got to respect the club and the fans and also respect your team-mates': Wayne Rooney insists Manchester United players must do more to help under-fire Jose Mourinho

* Wayne Rooney feels some Manchester United players must do more on the pitch
* The Red Devils find themselves in eighth place in the Premier League at present
* Mourinho has found himself under scrutiny following an indifferent run of form
* Rooney insists those who wear the shirt must show the required level of 'respect'

Wayne Rooney feels some Manchester United players must do more in a bid to help get the season back on track for Jose Mourinho's squad.

The Red Devils find themselves in eighth place in the Premier League after Sunday's 2-1 win over Everton.

Mourinho has found himself under scrutiny following an indifferent run of form which has seen key players fail to produce consistent performances.

Former England captain Rooney, who is United's record goalscorer following a trophy-laden 13 seasons at Old Trafford, believes anyone who pulls on the shirt must show the required level of 'respect'.

In an interview with Football Focus, published on the BBC Sport website, Rooney said: 'Obviously they are going through a difficult period at the minute, but Jose Mourinho is very experienced and I think some players have to do a little bit better.

'Hopefully they can turn their form around, win a few more games and keep the pressure on the top of the table and get back up there, which is where we all want to see them.

'In my experience, I have never seen or heard of a player not wanting to play in the game because they have had a falling out with the manager.'

Rooney added: 'I don't think as a player you could do that, you've got to respect the club and the fans and also respect your team-mates.

'I don't think any player, certainly at Manchester United, will be not playing for Jose, I'm sure they're all working hard behind the scenes to get results.'

Rooney has made a big impact following his move to DC United after leaving Everton, the club he rejoined from United during the summer of 2017.

The 33-year-old scored twice as DC United secured a MLS play-off place with a 3-1 win against New York City on Sunday.

United had propped up the MLS standings when Rooney joined in June, but secured a spot in the post season with a game to spare after extending their unbeaten run to nine matches.

Rooney is enjoying life across the Atlantic, both on and off the field.

'It is a bit more relaxing for us as a family. If you want to go to the supermarket or pop out and get a coffee then it's quite easy to do,' he said.

'At times in England it could be a bit difficult, but here not that many recognise you, or they are really respectful when they see you, so that is definitely a big difference.

'To walk around and have a bit more space and time to enjoy with your family was something a bit different to what I'm used to.'

Rooney added: 'I am really enjoying it and I think the team are playing well, producing great football, so hopefully that continues.'

Barusan kira-kira 30 menit lalu lihat tayangan interview Rooney di BBC channel (MNC Vision). Rooney bilang dia lebih enjoy di DC United karena sekarang bisa jalan kaki beli kopi di cafe dengan santai tanpa banyak orang yang mengenali, tidak seperti saat di Inggris
