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.

Wayne, Coleen and the rest of the Rooney family moved into their dream home in 2021

Their £20m Cheshire home was dubbed the ‘Morrisons mansion’ during construction

The house sits on a whopping 40 acres of land and has two fishing lakes, a cinema and pool

Rooney is believed to have paid over £4m to a Cheshire property developer to build the gated home (!)

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.

A Cheshire real estate developer is thought to have received nearly £4 million from Rooney to create the mansion, which also features separate elevators and a guest bathroom.

The main area and the basement floor, which has a large gym, pool, Jacuzzi, and movie theater, are connected by a second elevator.

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

The ex-striker grew up in a council house in Liverpool – but he has shown off his real estate skills with his sprawling Barbados villa, which he rents out for £25,000 a week.

In 2007, he bought a £320,000 beachfront property in Florida’s Sunshine State and spent £450,000 on a detached house in Liverpool for his parents.

After dating since they were 16 years old, he and Coleen—who are estimated to be worth over £115 million—now own houses all over the world.

Before making a big-money transfer to Manchester United, Rooney excelled for England in the 2004 Euros and rose through the ranks at his beloved Everton.

He went on to win the Premier League and the Champions League five times under Sir Alex Ferguson.

Rooney became the record goalscorer for club and country, surpassing Sir Bobby Charlton’s record for both United and England, which is currently held by Harry Kane.

He made an emotional return to Everton in 2017 and finished that season as their top scorer before moving to the MLS to sign for DC United.

The then veteran bagged 23 goals in 48 matches for the American side but headed back to England to join Championship club Derby County in the 2020/21 season in a surprise move.

The property has a full-size five-a-side pitch in it for the kids to play in (!)
