Rooney appeared on the first broadcast of MOTD on the 16th (Korea time). Rooney joined Gabby Logan and the Callie Cates in commentary, with Mark Chapman taking over as Gary Lineker left. Rooney expressed his insight into the games played on the day.
However, the response from the fans was the worst. The Daily Mail, a British daily newspaper, reported that Rooney's commentary was criticized on social media. One fan wrote 'It's a big mistake to put Rooney on MOTD. Another left 'When I hear Rooney's voice, I miss the TV Mute button' He was a great player, but the analysis was the worst.
Rooney was a striker representing English football in the 2000s. Manchester United has achieved a brilliant performance, ranking third in the Premier League and the highest number of scorers in history. The English national team also received a lot of love from many fans, scoring 53 goals in 120 A matches.
However, his leadership life was not smooth. He began his leadership career as a Derby County playing coach in 2020, and rose to the position of coach the following year after serving as an acting coach, but voluntarily resigned without completing a season due to poor performance. After that, he went through DC United, Birmingham City, and Plymouth Argyle, but all of them stepped down without completing their terms.
After living a wild life for a while after leaving Plymouth, he recently entered TV as a MOTD panel by signing a contract for 800,000 pounds (about 1.5 billion won) with the BBC. However, he is suffering from criticism from the first broadcast and foreshadows another thorny road.
