Birmingham City have 'identified' Rooney as a replacement for John Eustace, who has been linked with Rangers in case of Beale's departure.
Wayne Rooney is being lined up for a return to management in England, although Michael Beale's future could hold the key.
That has not gone down well with fans, and neither has the performance in the first Old Firm clash of the season. Despite an expensive summer rebuild, Rangers drew a blank and are now playing catch up again as Beale struggles to figure out the best combination on the pitch to less the pressure off it. Record Sport exclusively revealed earlier this week that Ibrox chiefs will stick with their man. For now.
And Blues don't plan to hang about if they do end up losing their boss. They;ve identified former Everton, Manchester united and England favourite Rooney as a top target if they find themselves looking for a new boss. Currently in charge of MLS franchise DC United, Rooney's contract in Washington expires this December and is reported to have admirers within the St. Andrews hierarchy.
