Rooney, 38, wore a hooded puffer jacket to stave off the northern frost.

It’s the first time he’s been seen after being sacked by Birmingham last week.

Manchester United icon Rooney was shown the door by NFL legend Tom Brady and his fellow American backers after just 13 weeks in the dugout.

He was only able to win two of his 15 games following John Eustace’s exit in October, with Birmingham plummeting down the Championship table.

Fans turned on Rooney after the disastrous 3-0 defeat to Leeds on New Year’s Day.

And Tony Mowbray is now in charge at St Andrew’s as Birmingham bid to challenge for the playoffs again.

Rooney admitted it would “take some time” to get over his departure, having quit MLS side DC United for a return to Blighty.

And he is now spending quality time with wife Coleen, 37, plus kids Kai, 14, Klay, 10, Kit, 7, and Cass, 5.

Rooney said after his sacking: “I would like to thank Tom Wagner, Tom Brady and Garry Cook for the opportunity to manage Birmingham City FC and the support they all gave me during my short period with the club.

“Football is a results business – and I recognise they have not been at the level I wanted them to be.

“However, time is the most precious commodity a manager requires and I do not believe 13 weeks was sufficient to oversee the changes that were needed.

“Personally, it will take me some time to get over this setback. I have been involved in professional football, as either a player or manager, since I was 16.

“Now, I plan to take some time with my family as I prepare for the next opportunity in my journey as a manager.

“Finally, I wish Birmingham City FC and its owners my best wishes in the pursuit of their ambitions.”

Trans men and lesbians would get IVF priority two years ahead of heterosexual couples under NHS plan – as campaigners slam proposals as  ‘grossly discriminatory’

Family campaigners have criticised as ‘grossly discriminatory’ plans to give trans men and lesbians access to NHS-funded IVF two years ahead of heterosexual couples. Under the controversial proposals, trans men – those born as women who now identify as men – will be automatically assumed to be unable to conceive, as will lesbians and single women. This means they will be immediately eligible for IVF on the NHS – costing an estimated £5,000 a cycle – if they meet the other criteria, such as a body mass index between 19 and 30, not smoking, being under 43 and not having a partner with a child from a previous relationship.
