Former Manchester United star and ex-England captain, Wayne Rooney, is currently the most coveted property among TV broadcasters. Following his recent departure from Plymouth as a manager, Rooney has been in high demand for his expert views on football.
Rooney's illustrious career as a player has made him an attractive prospect for TV companies looking for insightful pundits. Having won the title five times with Manchester United and served as England's captain, he brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to any broadcasting team.
During his stints on Sky, BBC and TNT Sports in the past, Rooney proved himself to be an impressive pundit. His strong opinions coupled with his expert understanding of the game have made him a favourite among viewers.
In-Demand across broadcasters
Match of The Day is reportedly keen on bringing Rooney onboard their new-look show for next season. They aim to introduce a wider variety of guests into their programming mix and see Rooney as an ideal addition.
Sky also holds him in high regard. Just this week he offered strong views on Gary Neville’s Overlap show which were well received by fans. Last season saw TNT featuring him during Everton’s game at Manchester United - two clubs that have seen significant contributions from Rooney during his playing career.
New chapter begins
Despite being out of work as a manager following recent sackings by Birmingham and Plymouth, offers are pouring in for Rooney's services as a pundit. Given that he doesn't seem likely to return to management anytime soon after these experiences, it appears that punditry could be the next chapter in this legendary former Red Devil's career journey.
TV companies are eager to secure him as a regular pundit due not only because of his expertise but also because he will undoubtedly be one of the biggest names available in sports broadcasting moving forward.
Wayne Rooney's transition from a celebrated footballer to a sought-after pundit is a testament to his deep understanding of the game and his ability to articulate it. As he steps into this new role, sports fans and sports betting enthusiasts alike can look forward to insightful analysis and expert commentary from one of football's most respected figures.
