Rooney has had to work under extremely difficult circumstances at Derby and still got the best out of his players, he has helped the likes of Ravel Morrison show how good he can really be. Rooney has shown that he is more than capable of taking over a club of Stoke’s stature and his record at Derby shows that he could help the club reinvigorate its promotion chances.

Substitute Ravel Morrison scores the winner against Preston to move Derby off the foot of the Championship.

"I thought the game was going to be seen out as a 0-0, we were cagey and I thought Derby were definitely a little bit cagey.

Preston North End were beaten by a late goal against Derby County at Pride Park in a game where both sides had a man sent off.
