WAYNE ROONEY is returning home to England and his family – and will be living in his £20million “Morrisons mansion” that has a full-size football pitch, two fishing lakes, cinema and a pool.

The Manchester United and England legend has just been named as the new manager of Birmingham City and replaces the axed John Eustace at St Andrews.

He will be joined at Brum by Arsenal and Chelsea icon Ashley Cole and former United team-mate John O’Shea who will be working alongside him as coaches.

Rooney left MLS side DC United at the weekend after they failed to make the play-offs.

He had been living with his coaching staff in Washington while wife Coleen and their four sons, Kai, Klay, Kit and Cass remained in England.

However, after joining the Tom Brady-backed Blues he will be getting all the support he needs from his family as he returns home to join them full-time at their lavish Cheshire mansion.

Rooney, 37, and Coleen, also 37, boast a sizeable property portfolio, including homes in Florida, USA, the Caribbean and across the UK.

But the jewel in the crown is their six-bedroom £20m palatial house which sits on a 40-acre piece of land.

Built from scratch, the family moved in in December 2021.

It is said to be located in Cheshire and is named High Lake Manor.

Rooney and his partner could even technically call themselves the lord and lady of the manor.

We revealed back in its development how United’s all-time top scorer had a full-size football pitch installed at the property and it comes complete with a seating area.

The five-a-side pitch even boasts changing rooms with showers for his mates – although he was blocked from installing floodlights because of his mansion’s rural location.

He also boasts a garage for his collection of cars, a cinema, swimming pool, and even two man-made fishing lakes.

Rooney is thought to be a keen angler.

The house had been previously mocked for looking like a Morrisons supermarket by neighbours due to its size and architecture.

But, unlike a Morrisons, it now boasts an orangery, bar, TV room, snooker room, cinema and wine cellar.

And the luxury Rooney pad also has a huge indoor swimming pool surrounded by a glass pavilion, a hot tub, plunge pool, steam room and “his” and “hers” changing rooms.

But that is not all – it boasts an extensive patio, landscaped gardens and a luxury car garage.

Rooney is believed to have paid over £4m to a Cheshire property developer to build the mansion, which also has a guest toilet and separate lifts.

 

 

That second lift also connects the main space to the basement floor, which sports a sprawling gym, pool, Jacuzzi and cinema room.

The decision to build their dream pad came after raiders tried to break into Rooney’s Cheshire home in 2016 before cops pounced.
