A source said: “It’s 50-50. As manager he must lead by example.”
Wife Coleen, also 35, is standing by him.
Pictures went viral showing the former England star, 35, passed out and surrounded by semi-naked girls in a hotel room.
A source said: “How can he lead a group of young men when he cannot appear to control himself in public during a night out? This type of behaviour hurts the club’s reputation.”
Rooney returned to pre-season training on Monday and was seen putting players through their paces.

But he could now be fired before the Rams’ Championship campaign gets under way on August 7.
Club executives had imposed a zero-tolerance policy to restore Derby’s tarnished image after star players Tom Lawrence, 27, and Mason Bennett, 25, were convicted over a drink-drive smash in 2018.
Rooney was expected to play a key role in the policy — but could now lose his job.
A source said: “It’s 50-50. The club is extremely upset by the images that have emerged. As ­manager he must lead by example, on and off the field. That is the very least they expect from him.
“There is absolutely no suggestion of sexual impropriety on his part. But Wayne is clinging on and is desperate to keep hold of the job.
“His salary is one of the biggest in the Championship. To lose it now would be a massive setback.”
‘MASSIVE SETBACK’
Bleary-eyed dad-of-four Rooney, wed to Coleen, 35, headed into Manchester after his team lost 2-1 to Salford City in a friendly on Saturday.
He and his pals went to the exclusive Chinawhite nightclub and were escorted to a VIP booth where they spent the night boozing.
Rooney is said to have sent a security guard to invite model Tayler Ryan and her pals Elise Melvin and Brooke Morgan, all 21, to join them. They partied through the night before leaving together at 4am.
And footage taken at 5.15am shows Rooney walking to the £60-a-night Staycity hotel with two blondes, including stunning Tayler.
England’s record goalscorer joined the girls inside the hotel room moments later and posed for selfies with them. But he soon passed out on a chair before the giggling girls decided to whip off their clothes and parade around in front of him in their undies.
Rooney woke up at 6am and made a quick exit after texting a pal begging for a lift — but the girls decided to post snaps from their “wild night” on Snapchat.
Tayler, who has 13,000 Instagram followers, posted a photo of her ­sitting with Rooney on the settee.
She used a filter to decorate some of her snaps, scrawling the word “cute” across her face. Other images showed the group stripping off for a series of prank pictures.
The images were leaked online and went viral within hours, although friends of the girls insisted no sexual activity had taken place.
Rooney said they were taken without his knowledge or consent and claimed he had been “set-up”. But tonight Cheshire Police said it was satisfied that no offences had taken place.
They also claimed “the person involved has also stated they do not wish to take the matter any ­further”.
But sources close to Rooney say he is dismayed at the suggestion he wanted no action to be taken.
Meanwhile, long-suffering wife Coleen is standing by him, with Rooney believed to be holed up at the family’s £20million mansion in Knutsford, Cheshire.
‘INUNDATED WITH MESSAGES’
A friend said: “Coleen has told friends everything between her and Wayne is fine and that she has no doubts over his version of events that night.
“She has been inundated with messages from friends about the pictures but maintains there is no trouble between them. Coleen is a strong woman and has faced far worse but she won’t stand for any nonsense.”
She continued a family hol in Abersoch, Gwynedd, yesterday. Rooney joined Derby as ­player-coach in January 2020 after a spell at DC United in the US.

His arrival at Pride Park immediately sparked controversy after it was revealed part of his big-money wage deal would be footed by web casino 32Red, the club’s main sponsor.
As part of the agreement Rooney wore the number 32 shirt. He retired in January to become full-time boss and signed a deal until summer 2023.
Rooney vowed to get them in the Premier League and write ­history as a boss in the way he had done as a player. They narrowly avoided relegation last season

Pals Brooke Morgan and model Tayler Ryan, both 21, also took pictures with the retired Manchester United captain on Sunday morning.
But friends said Elise’s husband-to-be, Stuart Rodger, 26, was so upset he called off their engagement hours later.
One said: “Stuart ended it because it was all over the internet. It’s not nice.”
The mechanical engineer declined to comment at the couple’s home in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria.
‘RASCAL’
Stunning Elise’s car was parked up outside but she was unavailable.
His and her parents both declined to comment when approached. Friends hope they can patch things up.
The trio remained in hiding last night after Cheshire Police confirmed no offences had been committed.
A relative of Tayler branded Rooney a “rascal” and questioned why the former ace went back to the hotel with a group of 21-year-olds.

Meanwhile, bosses at paper producers Kimberly Clark denied claims Brooke had been sacked for bringing the firm into disrepute.
They said they were offering her “our full support”.

“She has spoken to him and is entirely backing his version of events. They are rock solid.”
Rooney met model Tayler Ryan, Elise Melvin and their pal Brooke Morgan, all 21 and celebrating a birthday, after inviting them to his VIP booth.
The fan who filmed him in the street said: “I ran over when I spotted it was him. I was so excited to see my footballing hero.

“It was never meant to be out there in the world. It’s erupted into this absolute volcano.

Another relative said: “Yes, they’ve been stupid or drunk or whatever they were doing. But I’m 41, he’s nearly the same age as me.
“Tayler doesn’t want to return to work at the moment because of this.”

A ROONEY tackle in training yesterday left Derby midfielder Jason Knight with an ankle injury that could put him out for 12 weeks.

One flashed her bottom next to the retired England striker — then posted it online, captioning it “Mooney Rooney”.
Another photo which went viral yesterday saw him leaning in on one blonde reveller at a nightclub.
But Tayler’s mum Angela has now questioned why the Derby manager was even spending time with the girls given their age.
She said: “The poor girls were just going out for a 21st birthday.
“They’re 21 and he’s nearly 40. He’s invited them over. He sent over a security guard to invite them over to his VIP booth.
“It’s upset them all. They’re in tears. She’s a good girl and comes from a decent family.

“They thought they were being funny but I’ve told them it was absolutely stupid.
“I feel awful for them but I’m also angry because they’ve been stupid.”
‘VERY COMPLIMENTARY’
Rooney was out partying hours after Derby lost 2-1 away to Salford in a pre- season friendly on Saturday.
Friends revealed he and his pals invited the girls to his VIP booth at the exclusive Chinawhite club in Manchester.
One said: “The girls were out celebrating a pal’s birthday.
“They love Chinawhite and are always there but couldn’t believe their luck when they were invited over — they were stunned.
“They spent a couple of hours with him and his pals there before they moved on.”
Rooney is then understood to have been accompanied by two friends as he went to the girls’ hotel room.
The friend went on: “They were flattered. They had a really good night and said Wayne and his friends were lovely.
“The girls all love to party but I think this was probably the wildest night of their lives.
“There was no sexual contact — it was just a great night.
“Wayne was very complimentary of them, of how they looked, but nothing happened.”
PHOTO FEARS
Rooney has now called the police after the photos emerged of him in a hotel room with the scantily-clad girls.
The ex-Utd ace was angry they had taken snaps of him asleep without his permission and feared he had been the victim of a “set-up”.
Tayler, who has 13,000 Instagram followers, posted a photo of her sitting with Rooney on the settee.
She used a filter to decorate some of her snaps, scrawling the word “cute” all across her face.
One picture shows the bleary-eyed Derby County manager, wearing a black hoodie and jeans, waving his arm in the air while holding a glass of wine.
However the married dad of four later passed out — so the girls decide to start playing pranks.
One is throwing a peace sign next to the sleeping celebrity while the other is laying on the bed in her lingerie in a photo they titled “Sleepy Wayne”.
Another shows one in a G-string jokingly baring her bum next to the star’s head, with the caption “Mooney Rooney”.
Footage also circulated on social media showing her strut over to him before bending over his face.
The friend said: “They were all having fun dancing around with Wayne and his mates and posting about it on Snapchat but they couldn’t stop laughing when he passed out. They decided to have some fun.”
Rooney, married to Coleen, then made a swift exit from the Staycity complex after he eventually woke up yesterday morning.
The pal continued: “Wayne left straight away. He was very rough. There was no hanging around — he just got up and went.
“He texted a mate to ask him to pick him up, went downstairs and waited for the friend to pick him up and then he left.
“Then the girls started putting it on social media and it’s just gone viral.
“He may have expected that so went first thing into a waiting car and probably back to Coleen.
“I suspect he’ll have a few questions to answer back at home.”
The three girls were spotted leaving Staycity at 12.30pm yesterday.
They confirmed they had spent the night with Rooney but refused to go into details.
SAVING HIS MARRIAGE
It comes after sources claimed he was going to “quit alcohol” to save his marriage after a series of scandals while playing for DC United in the States.
He said he was going teetotal when he returned to the UK in 2019.
Coleen, 35, had also allegedly previously asked him to get help with his drinking.
Sources told The Sun he wanted a “fresh start” and “knows losing his unhealthy relationship with the bottle would be the best thing”.
Rooney, dad to Kai, 11, Klay, eight, Kit, five, and Cass, three, has been in the dog house with Coleen for a series of drunken scandals.
In 2017, he was driving Laura Simpson home when he was nicked for drink-driving at 2am after a ten-hour booze session.
In 2019, the then-DC United player was arrested for being drunk in public when he set off a security door alarm at a US airport after a booze and sleeping pill mix left him “disoriented”.

It is also the latest booze-fuelled scandal to hit Derby County after star players Tom Lawrence and Mason Bennett, both 25, were convicted over a drink-drive smash in 2018.
Rooney was just 16 when he burst on to the Premier League scene with his boyhood club Everton in 2002.
He was capped for England the following year and starred at Euro 2004.
That year he also signed for Manchester United, scoring a hat-trick on his debut.

Rooney went on to become the club’s record goalscorer — as well as England’s.
He was transferred back to Everton in 2017, before heading across the Atlantic to Washington, and then returning to England with Derby as a player-coach.
In January, he became the Championship club’s full-time manager.

Derby County bosses said: “Wayne Rooney informed the club yesterday that the pictures had emerged and that they had been taken without his knowledge or approval.
“After taking counsel the matter was reported to Greater Manchester Police who are currently investigating the incident.
“While that remains the case, there will be no further comment.”
