Rooney Pockets £800,000 Tax Rebate After Firm Closure

According to the news, former Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney, 40, has received a substantial £800,000 tax rebate from HMRC. This windfall comes after the firm he used for his football image rights was recently closed down.

Rooney has already banked £22.5 million from the liquidation process, and is expected to receive another payout before the entire procedure is completed. During his playing days at Manchester United, Rooney earned a staggering £300,000 per week in wages and image rights earnings.

Now a prominent pundit, Rooney continues to maintain lucrative deals with global brands like Coca-Cola, EA Sports, and Nike. He is also an ambassador for several international companies. As a result, Rooney is estimated to have a net worth of £170 million as of the current date.

Rooney's media work has also led to a public spat with Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk. The former United striker had criticized Van Dijk and teammate Mohamed Salah for a lack of leadership during Liverpool's poor run in October. Van Dijk later responded to the criticism, leading to an awkward encounter between the two.
