Wayne Rooney could return to Man United as club ambassador - sources

Wayne Rooney says he's been thinking of scoring on his return to Everton ever since he knew the deal was happening.
Wayne Rooney could return to Manchester United as club ambassador after he retires despite leaving Old Trafford for Everton this summer, sources have told ESPN FC.
Rooney left United after 13 years to return to his boyhood club in a move that helped Jose Mourinho secure Romelu Lukaku for £75 million from Goodison Park.
The 31-year-old agreed to become a United ambassador as part of the contract he signed in 2014. The deal is now void after he signed for Everton. But sources say the offer to become a club representative after he hangs up his boots is still on the table.
It is unlikely Rooney could take it up -- if he chooses to accept -- before 2019 after he signed a two-year contract at Everton.
He could earn as much as £100,000 a year representing United at home and abroad.
Wayne Rooney could be welcomed back to United with open arms after his spell at Everton.
Former manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who retired in 2013, earned £2.165 million from his role as a global ambassador during the 2013-14 season.
Former players Bryan Robson, Denis Irwin, Mikael Silvestre, Dwight Yorke, David May and Bojan Djordjic are with the team on their tour of the United States to do media and promotional work.
Paddy Crerand, a European Cup winner in 1968, is also in the U.S. as part of his role with in-house television channel MUTV.
Rooney left the club as their top scorer with 253 goals in all competitions after breaking the record Sir Bobby Charlton had held for 44 years.
His 559 appearances also puts him sixth on the all-time list behind Ryan Giggs, Charlton, Paul Scholes, Bill Foulkes and Gary Neville.
He is also one of United's most decorated players, having won 12 major trophies including five Premier League titles and the Champions League in 2008.
If Rooney decides to return to United he would join a list of club ambassadors that also includes Ferguson, Charlton, Robson, Yorke, Denis Law, Neville, Andy Cole, Peter Schmeichel, Park Ji Sung.

Some scientists have made a stunning discovery leading to the propagation that “not only is cockroach milk fast becoming a part of our food chain and diet, it’s even referred to as the super food of the future.” National Daily  gathered that an international team of scientists from the Institute of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (inStem) in Bangalore, India, recently discovered the structure of milk protein crystal from the guts of a cockroach species, leading to their conclusion that “It’s more than four times as nutritious as cow’s milk and it could be the key to feeding their growing population in the future.” Leonard Chavas, one of the scientists behind the research and his colleagues examined the species, also known as  Diploptera punctata,  which is the only specie of cockroach known to be viviparous, able to bring forth live babies that have developed within the mother’s body, instead of the mother laying eggs to develop outside her body.

Read Below. Can you recall how you started your acting career? I used to act very well in church and people loved it whenever I came on stage. Even before I mounted the stage, people would already be screaming in excitement and the cleric would then have to caution them so that everybody could hear what I had to say. It was the interest and love that people had for me that motivated me to take acting serious. Meanwhile, there was a friend of mine who we used to act together and go about performing in churches. He was part of a group that used to meet for rehearsals somewhere close to where I lived. One day, he told the members of his group that he had a friend who could act. They told him to invite me and when I got there, they asked me if
