Rooney Eyes BBC Pundit Role Post-Plymouth Departure

Wayne Rooney, the former England and Manchester United star, is reportedly in talks to join the BBC's Match of the Day as a pundit following his recent departure from Plymouth Argyle due to poor performance. This comes after Rooney's managerial stints at Derby County, Birmingham City, and DC United, which were also met with challenges. If negotiations are successful, Rooney could earn up to £200,000 annually as a rotating guest pundit alongside new hosts Gabby Logan, Mark Chapman, and Kelly Cates. Despite his setbacks in management, Rooney's previous work as a pundit, especially during Euro 2024, was well-received by viewers. The BBC is keen to bring him on board, and Rooney is considering his options as he plans his next career move in football punditry. Meanwhile, tributes have poured in for Denis Law, another Manchester United legend, who recently passed away at the age of 84 after battling dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
