Wayne Rooney speaks out on Plymouth future after fans call for Man Utd legend to be sacked following Oxford defeat

Championship

Plymouth

Burnley

<p>Rooney's underwhelming coaching tenure has continued with Plymouth Argyle as the former England international has led the Pilgrims to just just four wins in their first 23 games under the Manchester United legend. Plymouth are currently glued to the bottom of the Championship standings and face a real battle to beat the drop.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Rooney's job at Plymouth Argyle is now under threat as the Pilgrims seem to be no closer to finding a solution to their problems and with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wayne-rooney-leave-plymouth-coleen-oxford/bltb92adba3dab5406f" target="_blank">fans having called for the coach to leave</a>. Oxford supporters were heard <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/wayne-rooney-sacked-in-the-morning-plymouth/bltb762dbb2387aec0d" target="_blank">chanting for the Manchester United fan to be relieved of his duties</a> at Home Park during Sunday's clash between the two sides. Rooney has now spoken out about the fans' discontent and calls for him to be sacked.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to BBC Radio, Rooney said: "I think the criticism is normal with the results we're going through.</p><p>"You have to feel that you can turn it around. I'm going to go back, watch the game back, evaluate the game and prepare for Bristol [City]. I understand [the fans' reaction], I've been there myself when I was young and I've been there as a fan when you want to see your team win.</p><p>"When you're losing games as we're losing them, that frustration is there so I get it and I don't take it personally."</p>

WHAT ROONEY SAID

<p>The Manchester United legend has been planning for the January transfer window and is still hoping to stay with Plymouth for the rest of the season at the least. The Pilgrims will be in action next when they take on Stoke City on January 4, 2025.</p>
