Wayne Rooney has confirmed that he rejected an approach from boyhood club Everton to be interviewed for their vacant managerial position.
The Derby County boss was on the Toffees' four-man shortlist to replace Rafa Benitez but turned down their advances, leaving favourite Vitor Pereira, Frank Lampard and Duncan Ferguson to duke it out for the Goodison Park hot seat.
"Everton approached my agent and asked me to interview for the vacant job, which I turned down," Rooney explained at a press conference on Friday.
