According to reports, Wayne Rooney has instructed his legal team to threaten action against the publisher of Andy Carroll's forthcoming autobiography over allegations detailed in the book. The Sun reports that Rooney is prepared to pursue legal claims based on the book's contents.

The former England captain has sent a legal letter to the publisher of Carroll's upcoming memoir, denying claims that he drank with Carroll while serving as an England coach. Carroll's book contains allegations that during the 2010-2011 period, Rooney invited players to his room at England training facilities to drink alcohol.

The former Newcastle United and Liverpool player faces potential costly legal action if he does not retract the allegations, according to sources. A source told The Sun: "Wayne is furious. He's not taking this lightly."

"His legal team has sent a strongly-worded letter to the publisher. Because the claims are completely false, he wants them withdrawn."

"Wayne doesn't know himself what the truth is, but on this matter, it's gone beyond the pale. It's a matter of principle."

The source continued: "Andy is genuinely suffering over this. Wayne's response is not what Andy expected at all."

"Andy was just trying to sell his book, but now it's spiraled a bit out of control."

"If Wayne doesn't want a legal battle, there could be a public apology coming."

Meanwhile, football pundit Rooney is in advanced talks with ITV for "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!" This comes after his wife Coleen finished second in the show last year.

After retiring in 2018, Rooney pursued coaching, later joining Match of the Day and agreeing to present a podcast and game show.

Rooney and Coleen's new Disney+ documentary series "The Real Rooneys" premieres on Saturday, the same day Carroll's book is released.

A source said: "Everything Wayne has done recently reflects a new chapter in his life. He's lost considerable weight and quit drinking. His bad habits are behind him. The last thing he needs is Andy making unfounded accusations against him."
