Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney set for return to English football
Wayne Rooney is reportedly close to taking over as Birmingham City manager after leaving his job at MLS side DC United.
Perhaps most surprisingly, there will be only one stadium in Manchester hosting the Euros, as Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium was chosen ahead of Manchester United’s Old Trafford, which has previously been a staple of tournaments held in England, including the 1966 World Cup, the 1996 Euros, the 2012 Olympics, and the 2022 Women’s Euros.
It is believed that Manchester United withdrew from consideration to host matches at the Euros, as they could not guarantee Old Trafford’s availability to host fixtures in 2030 due to planned renovations.

Other stadiums chosen to host the 2030 Euros include Casement Park in Belfast, Newcastle's St James' Park, Aston Villa’s Villa Park, Cardiff's Principality Stadium, and Dublin's Aviva Stadium.
