Everton forward Wayne Rooney is set to launch a new career as a pundit after he was approached by popular media outlet Sky Sports.

The former Manchester United star is no stranger to punditry after he appeared as a studio guest on ITV during England’s friendly game with Holland in March 2016.

The Three Lions’ record goalscorer missed out on the game because of an injury.

Both parties (Rooney and Sky Sports) will still need to solve the “timing’ problem since he is still an active player.

Monday Night Football (MNF) represents the best programme to introduce Rooney alongside regular pundit Carragher and Gary Neville.
