Thursday's home tie against the Red Devils is a massive opportunity for Cocu's side and the Dutchman reckons Rooney's Old Trafford pedigree will be a major factor.

INTERVIEW BY IAN HERBERT: It's when Rooney is asked whether Sir Alex Ferguson's old man-management ruses make more sense to him, now he is a player-coach, with Derby County.

INTERVIEW BY IAN HERBERT: Rooney, who faces United as Derby's player-coach in the FA Cup Fifth Round, cited Liverpool - a club he has no love for - as one of the models of success.

Wayne Rooney is the star attraction as the Derby County player-coach comes up against his former side Manchester United in the FA Cup. Follow all the updates here with Sportsmail.

CHRIS WHEELER AT PRIDE PARK: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was right about Wayne Rooney. There is still fight in the old dog. The problem for Rooney is that Man Utd have a bit of bite themselves.

Manchester United fans decided to take aim at goalkeeper Sergio Romero after he denied Wayne Rooney a late consolation in their 3-0 FA Cup fifth round win over Derby. 

Boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists Manchester United must compete on three fronts after Thursday's FA Cup win at Derby County.

Rushian Hepburn-Murphy's attempt to pass the time while in isolation has gone disastrously wrong after the Aston Villa forward smashed his own window while playing football out in the garden.

Hart is one of a number of Burnley players set to be out of contract in the summer as the 32-year-old's miserable spell at Turf Moor comes to an end.

The goal most people remember from Rooney's distinguished United career was a match-winning overhead kick in the Manchester derby, but his best goal in terms of footballing craft is different.

EXCLUSIVE BY SAMI MOKBEL: Sportsmail exclusively revealed how Rooney was acting on behalf of the squad in their battle against proposals to impose a 50 per cent wage deferral.

EXCLUSIVE BY SAMI MOKBEL AND ADRIAN KAJUMBA: Sportsmail can disclose academy players have been put on the Government's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.

Rooney joined Derby County on an 18-month player-coach contract from MLS side DC United in January and was working closely with the club's first-team coaching staff before the coronavirus outbreak.
