‘That’s where I’ll be’ – Wayne Rooney confirms future plans amid return to management talk

Rooney was back on the pitch on Sunday and rolling back the years as he scored after just four minutes for England against a World XI. The game ultimately ended in disappointment for Rooney's side as they lost out 5-4, but it was still a successful night for all as £15 million was raised for charity.

The former Manchester United star was quizzed on his future after the clash. Rooney was sacked as manager of Plymouth at the end of last year and has since been linked with a return to coaching. Yet Rooney has also been enjoying some punditry work and says that is where he plans to stay for the time being.

He told talkSPORT: "Obviously just doing some TV work at the minute, so that’s what I’m doing. I’m enjoying it. So, that’s where I’ll be."

The former England captain also spoke about the game after the final whistle: "We knew it was always going to be a tough game. They had some really good players in the team. But I thought it was a good game for everyone who came to watch. Unfortunately we didn’t win, obviously that was the fun but the main reason we’re all here today is to try and raise money."

Viewers can now expect to see more of Rooney on screens as he enjoys his new life as a pundit. It remains to be seen if he will return to coaching in the future or if he's decided to call it a day after spells in charge of Derby, Birmingham, DC United and Plymouth.
