‘Watching the BBC’s coverage of the FA Cup every year was always really special growing up,’ Rooney stated in reference to his new role. I’m thrilled to be working with the crew to cover this historic competition’s tie, which I know will be jam-packed with activity.
“It feels great to be on the other side of the camera this time, and hopefully I can bring some of that FA Cup experience to the coverage having played and managed in the competition.”

After leaving St Andrew’s, the 38-year-old has been linked to a move into boxing, but he is concentrating on resuming his coaching career. He declared, “I think right now I want to focus on getting back into management, not boxing.”
“They’ve communicated with each other; Misfits have been widely reported.” My goal is to return to the management field.
