Less than an hour before the show aired, Rooney announced on social media platform X that he would not be appearing as an MOTD pundit due to a back injury sustained during a holiday with his family. He expressed his hope to rejoin the team in the near future and wished luck to Gary Lineker and the rest of the team for the night’s show.

In response to Rooney’s announcement, Lineker commented that there would be other opportunities for him. Rooney had been in charge for 15 games with just two wins and expressed his main focus on returning to football.

Looking at Rooney’s managerial career, the question arises: can he turn it around? Rooney expressed his commitment to the process of getting back on track.
