He re-joined his boyhood club Everton in the summer, and scored in each of his opening two Premier League games following his return from Manchester United.

Rooney, who trained at Everton’s Finch Farm training ground on Thursday, has spent the last 12 years living in Cheshire, in a £6million home in Prestbury.

Rooney, wife Coleen, and their three children, Kai, Klay and Kit, are planning to move to a new purpose-built £10million country mansion in the heart of the Cheshire countryside.

Coleen recently announced that she is pregnant, expecting the couples fourth child.

The 31-year-old is of course not with the England squad to face Malta away on Friday night and then Slovakia at home on Monday evening after announcing his retirement from international football last week, after a record 53 goals and 119 appearances for his country.
