Rooney's net worth

Former striker Wayne Rooney has received a huge £800,000 tax refund from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), after his image rights company was dissolved.

Rooney's total assets have now soared to around £170 million.

According to The Sun , the liquidation of this business helped Rooney earn 22.5 million pounds, and he is still waiting for a final payment before all procedures are completed. This is considered a bargain for the former England captain.

During his peak at Old Trafford, Rooney earned up to £300,000 a week from salary and image rights. He also raked in a lot of money from a series of lucrative contracts with brands for which he is still an ambassador to this day. Thanks to that, Rooney's total assets have skyrocketed to around £170 million, a figure that many football stars dream of.

However, money is not the only thing that has made Rooney's name mentioned this past week. In his role as a commentator, the 40-year-old legend had a war of words with Liverpool's center-back Virgil van Dijk.

Rooney criticised Van Dijk and Mohamed Salah for lacking leadership during Liverpool's slump in October. In response, Van Dijk said: "If you lose five games in a row, it's normal to be criticised. But sometimes, things get pushed too far. I respect the opinions of former players, but everything needs to be seen in the context of reality."

Rooney smiled and replied: "I won't say anything more. Maybe I accidentally stimulated them to play more explosively." The conversation ended with a light handshake, but it was enough to create an interesting viral moment between two generations of stars, one who was a symbol of MU, and the other who was the leader of the great rival Liverpool.
