Coleen Rooney looks radiant and glowing as she shares sweet family snap with husband Wayne and their sons on holiday
Coleen Rooney looked radiant and glowing in a sweet family snap with husband Wayne and their sons Klay, Kit and Cass, she shared on Instagram on Tuesday. The I'm A Celeb star, 39, was recently seen soaking up the sunshine by the beach in Portugal as Wayne enjoyed a night out with their family and friends. Sharing a look into their wholesome trip, Coleen took to social media to post the doting snap. Coleen and Wayne, 39, enjoyed some quality time with Klay, 12, Kit, nine, and Cass, seven. Her eldest son Kai, 15, was notably missing from the photo. Coleen's earnings have soared amid her huge TV projects as she looks set to become her family's 'main breadwinner '. The WAG reportedly boasts a net worth of £15million, with her hubby thought to be worth an enormous £170million thanks to his Premier League footballing days. But in the new phase of their lives, Coleen could be set to take over as the main breadwinner as her popularity soars. Amid her skyrocketing fame following her hugely successful I'm A Celeb stint, Disney announced last month a new premium access series titled The Rooneys focusing on her and Wayne's life. Thanks to her ventures, new figures for her firm, CWR 2021, up to September 2024 show the booming business already had £580,000 banked - and that was before I'm A Celeb and her Disney deal. Meanwhile former manager of Plymouth Arsenal Wayne was reportedly making £500,000, before leaving the club in December. A financial expert told The Sun: 'These earnings show that, even before Coleen signed up for I'm A Celeb, she was already bringing in more money than Wayne. 'On the back of her jungle stint, where she was incredibly popular with the viewing public, she's now likely to see her earnings soar even further - and the increased interest in Coleen after she did so well on the show is also likely to have sealed the deal on the Disney contract. 'Getting big bucks from a global streamer, plus her pay cheque from ITV, will no doubt swell the Rooneys coffers even further.' MailOnline contacted Coleen's representatives for comment at the time. Disney announced last month that a new premium access series titled The Rooneys is set to air, and filming is already underway. The ten part doc-series will delve into the footballer and WAG's lives 'like we've never seen them before'. It is set to see Coleen tackle 'new entrepreneurial endeavours' and Wayne stepping away from the football pitch to do school runs. The new show has 'unprecedented access' into their world and dives into their everyday life, including highs like holidays and celebrations as well as the lows. The 'at-home-with' format is expected to see former England footballer Wayne appear alongside his wife and their four sons.

Now We Will See The Real Marcus Rashford At Barcelona
BRIGHTON, ENGLAND - APRIL 02: Marcus Rashford of Aston Villa celebrates scoring his team's first ... More goal during the Premier League match between Brighton & Hove Albion FC and Aston Villa FC at Amex Stadium on April 02, 2025 in Brighton, England. (Photo by Aston Villa/Aston Villa FC via Getty Images) Marcus Rashford first debuted in Manchester United's number 10 during a 2018 preseason friendly against Bayern Munich. Although it does not have the same status as the number 7 shirt at the club, worn by George Best, David Beckham, and Cristiano Ronaldo, the jersey still holds significance. A diehard fan, Rashford knew this well, writing on social media after the game: "Wearing the shirt worn by United legends, honoured." One of the previous owners of the number, Wayne Rooney, who'd had the jersey for over a decade, could be found in the comments. "It suits you mate," the Liverpudlian added. His manager at the time, Jose Mourinho, explained that Rashford had decided to take the number 10 shirt. "He wanted it," Mourinho told MUTV. "He always wanted it. Of course, he respected the big Rooney and then Zlatan [Ibrahimovic] "It's something fantastic for the kid, let's give the shirt to him." In the seven seasons that followed, there were moments when Rashford looked capable of living up to expectations. The problem is that they remained just that, moments; he has never consistently delivered. MANCHESTER, ENGLAND - NOVEMBER 28: Ruben Amorim, Head Coach of Manchester United, speaks to Marcus ... More Rashford of Manchester United as he prepares to enter the pitch as a substitute during the UEFA Europa League 2024/25 League Phase MD5 match between Manchester United and FK Bodo/Glimt at Old Trafford on November 28, 2024 in Manchester, England. (Photo by) Last season was the final straw for the one-club man. Coach Ruben Amorim publicly humiliated him before a loan move to Aston Villa for the final half of the campaign. Upon returning to Manchester, it was no secret he was one of five players pushed into a so-called 'bomb squad' of exiles ostracised from the squad to push them closer to the exit door. So it was not exactly surprising to see new signing Matheus Cunha handed Rashford's number 10 shirt ahead of the new campaign. More of a shock is the Mancunian's next destination. Having impressed at Aston Villa last year, he has caught the eyes of one of Europe's biggest sides, Barcelona, and is on his way to Catalunya to play with Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski. Former Manchester United players have not greeted the news of the move well, as they were unhappy with his behavior before leaving the club. "If you assess where Marcus Rashford is at as a professional footballer, you strive as a youngster to get to the very top and play for clubs like Manchester United, and when you're there, you appreciate it," ex-United player, Teddy Sheringham, told Sky Bet. "You don't throw it away and say you want to leave. "I find the whole episode very soul-destroying, compared to the way I was back in the day and how I strove to get the privilege to play for such a huge football club. "To hear someone talking the way he is talking, saying he wants out - I didn't like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang doing that at Arsenal, I thought it was soul-destroying, and I hope Rashford doesn't get the move that he's hankering for. 'From my perspective, if you go from Manchester United to Barcelona, that's a step up that he hasn't deserved.' Rashford has been handed a move to one of Europe's elite because the Catalans have some hefty financial challenges. Despite a significant uptick in form last season, Barcelona remains a club struggling to balance the books. The decision to prioritise contract renewals for young players ahead of flashy summer signings is sensible. However, it does mean the club has to be more innovative in recruiting to fill the gaps in the squad. Hiring a player like Rashford on a loan de-risks what would have been an expensive bet on a talent that might not deliver. No one thinks the Mancunian will arrive in Spain as anything other than a backup option for a squad already well-stocked in the forward roles. His six-month spell at Aston Villa last season was impressive, but it's hard to see him landing another big move if this one goes wrong. Rashford's problem is that, despite turning 28 in October, the withering assessment made by his former coach Jose Mourinho about him having 'potential' but not established ability still rings true. "He is potentially a very good player," the Portuguese manager said. "He's a very good player in some models of play, he's a very good player in some positions. As a target man, as a number nine, I don't think he has the sort of goals that the top striker has. 'For me, he can't get better as a number nine. He can get better playing from the left side, playing with another one as a target man but for him to be the target man in matches where United are dominant and playing against defensive teams and low blocks, I think it's difficult for him.' At Barcelona, Rashford might find more opportunities playing through the middle, and it will be fascinating to watch whether he can establish himself. One thing is sure: It's now or never.

Final test before European stage beckons
Second and final pre-season friendly Our short and sweet pre-season is almost over. After our 2-1 friendly win against FK Qarabag, Thomas Letsch's boys have another test to come against English second-tier side Derby County. The match will be played this Friday 18 July at 18:00 at the picturesque SAK Platz in Nonntal. The Rams had their heyday in the 1970s. Derby were able to take two English titles (the first under the legendary Brian Clough) and made it through to the semi-finals of the 1973 European Cup. The club have been a near permanent fixture in the Championship in recent years, last spending a season in the Premier League back in 2007/08. In 2022/23 they dropped down to the third tier after losing points upon entering administration but made it back up a year later. 27.38 million Euro market value of Derby County There is one very familiar name in John Eustace's current squad - Rooney. Wayne Rooney has played for and managed Derby in recent years, while his younger cousin Jake is in the current set-up. The friendly is the last test for our side before they are back in business next week with their first competitive match of the new season - a big UEFA Champions League qualifier at SK Brann. That makes it all the more important to find out where we stand and ideally take a win against Derby County. The clash with the English side can be followed as usual on a free RBS TV live stream. Ticket sales at the ground Tickets will be available from 90 minutes before kick-off at the stadium's ticket points. Only cash is accepted, with ticket sales run by the host club. Full price EUR 15– (age 17 and over) Reduced EUR 10– (aged 8 to 16) Children free up to the age of seven Further dates for the start of 2025/26 23 July 2025, 19:00, Brann Stadium 2nd qualifying round UEFA Champions League: SK Brann v FC Red Bull Salzburg 26 July 2025, 18:00, DietachArena 1st round UNIQA ÖFB Cup: Union PROCON Dietach v FC Red Bull Salzburg 30 July 2025, 20:45, Red Bull Arena 2nd qualifying round UEFA Champions League: FC Red Bull Salzburg v SK Brann 2 August 2025, 19:30, Innviertel Arena Matchday 1 ADMIRAL Bundesliga: SV Oberbank Ried v FC Red Bull Salzburg
