For the first time since his performances during Manchester United’s 3-0 loss to Tottenham at Old Trafford raised concerns among Red Devils supporters, Wayne Rooney has been sighted.
The head coach of Plymouth Argyle was caught on camera by Sky Sports on Sunday night as Erik ten Hag’s team suffered a heartbreaking defeat. But his health barely three years after he retired alarmed his admirers.
“He appears extremely awful,” one account commented. Another person remarked, possibly in jest, “Hang in there, Wayne.” A third person said, “Rooney looks older than his age.” “He must look after himself.” After two days, the 38-year-old was seen making his way to Turf Moor in preparation for his team’s Championship matchup with Burnley.
Following his leadership of Argyle to two victories in their last four league games, which strengthened their chances of surviving, Rooney has been in high spirits lately. With their recent thrilling 3-1 victory over Luton, Plymouth is now ranked 16th in the division.
After being made fun of by Jamie Carragher for his appearance on Monday Night Football on Sky, Rooney admitted in 2022 that he only owned one suit that still fit him.
A fortnight prior to the show, Carragher saw that Rooney was dressed identically from his entrance into the Premier League Hall of Fame, including his shirt, tie, and suit.In response, Rooney said, “You know what? That’s because of something.
It goes without saying that I’ve gained a little weight in the past year. Since that’s the only suit that will fit me right now, I need to make the most of it.
Throughout his trophy-filled playing career, Rooney has previously discussed his struggle to control his weight, as detailed in his 2012 book My Decade In The Premier League: Like most men, I gain a few pounds following a vacation.
“I put on two or three even if I don’t train for a week.”
Following Plymouth’s 3-1 victory over Luton in the Sky Bet Championship at Home Park, Rooney lauded the team’s “togetherness.”
Within eight minutes of his first Argyle start, Rami Al Hajj scored a goal.
