Rooney is presently the supervisor of Plymouth Argyle. The Pilgrims presently discover themselves 18th within the Championship, one level above relegation. The United icon will likely be attempting to show his managerial abilities after a failed displaying at Birmingham Metropolis earlier this 12 months.

Though Plymouth is a brand new leaf for Rooney, tonight’s sport will take him again to his United taking part in days when he faces Cleverley. The pair spent two seasons as teammates at Outdated Trafford. The midfielder ended his profession at Watford, after 129 appearances, the place he’s now supervisor.

Although Rooney was in little question the higher participant, Cleverley is doing higher as supervisor to date although it’s nonetheless early days The Hornets are sixth within the Championship; the ultimate playoff place.

Though Rooney has had a rocky time in administration since his quick stint at St. Andrew’s, his title remains to be a worthwhile asset. Forward of the match, MEN Sport has taken a have a look at his web value.

What’s Rooney’s web value?

In accordance with studies, Rooney is value a staggering £170m primarily based on his profession earnings to this point. Whereas at United, the ahead earned a wage of roughly £300,000 per week, together with his business partnerships.

When he moved to America to hitch DC United as a participant, Rooney earned roughly £2.6m per 12 months. Earlier than being sacked by Birmingham, it was extensively reorted that he was incomes £29,000 per week for his providers at St Andrew’s however he hit again at claims over his pay packet.

“There’s a number of stuff, particularly with it being me,” Rooney mentioned on hypothesis about his wage throughout his time at Blues.

“I perceive that. There’s lot of rumours which go spherical, however what’s been out there’s a load of garbage, to be sincere.”

How a lot is Rooney incomes at Plymouth?

Now being over 250 miles away from his £20m mansion in Cheshire, the previous England captain remains to be incomes a staggering amount of cash. It’s reported that he’s pocketing a wage of £500k-per-year, claims The Guardian.

This wage is an correct illustration of a modest Championship pay packet. His standing has led to curiosity in a documentary about his time on the south coast, with Rooney saying earlier this week that Plymouth will profit financially from the choice.

“I believe for the soccer membership financially it would assist, which is de facto vital for us the place we’re at,” he mentioned.

Within the nice Venn diagrams of life, it’s uncommon that we discover “soccer” and “poetry” overlapping, however on final night time’s I’m a Celeb Get Me Out of Right here, Coleen Rooney sat completely in that cross part.

“Is he affectionate, in phrases?” her co star GK Barry asks of Coleen’s footballer husband, Wayne Rooney. “He’s at all times wrote me poems,” she responds.

It’s simple to chuckle at this. Earlier than final night time, my data of Wayne Rooney’s prowess with phrases was restricted to his expertise for alliteration when naming his youngsters (Kai, Klay, Package and Cass).

So, sure – it’s comedic to think about a person famed for his penalty field prowess, his receding hairline and his allegedly nefarious dealings with intercourse staff sitting in a full package in an away altering room, scribbling on resort stationery one thing like: “Roses are pink / Soccer pitches are inexperienced / I put the purpose within the internet / and my love in you, Coleen.”

The humour, nevertheless, falls away after we keep in mind different Manchester United footballers who’ve written poetry. Ryan Giggs famously had a go at rhyming couplets, which surfaced in his defence when he was accused of headbutting his then-girlfriend and elbowing her sister; penning traces like, “you’re my love, my buddy, my soul/…you consider in me. Which makes me really feel as onerous as a totem pole”. Giggs at all times denied the allegations and was in the end cleared of all costs.

Totem poles apart, why are we so able to chuckle on the notion of footballers placing pen to paper to put in writing one thing romantic within the first place? Or placing pen to paper – in any respect?

It appears to me that we put males into two classes: the physique and the mind. We consider “masculine males” as those that use their physique for a residing, or as a mirrored image of their success. Builders, carpenters and athletes have been grouped along with jacked CEOs and influencers as “alpha males” whose value, dedication and ethical fortitude is all symbolized by having a six pack.

However, there are the “beta males”, the “female males” – writers, accountants, workplace staff and poets like me. If now we have any value in any respect in a capitalist society, it’s one supposedly based mostly on our mind. All of that is an extension of a binary masculine/female divide which courses males as materials and affordable – and girls as immaterial and illogical.

As GK Barry mentioned final night time: “By no means did I ever suppose Wayne Rooney had it in him to put in writing a love poem. I by no means noticed him as that sort of man.”

To which I need to instantly ask: what sort of man? The sort of man who’s able to each an overhead kick which continues to be thought of top-of-the-line objectives in Premier League Historical past – and a poem articulating his love for his spouse? That couldn’t probably be the identical man? Why not?

When it’s revealed that he writes poetry, we react with shock (or snark) as a result of our categorisation of that particular person – and maybe our categorisation of all folks – has been rocked at its foundations: my god, somebody who could be physique and mind!

Right here’s what I feel, as a 31-year-old poet who’s at the moment sat in a resort room in Sheffield on a e book tour, lacking my spouse who’s pregnant with our first little one: Wayne Rooney’s poetry is none of our enterprise. What is definitely attention-grabbing right here is the general public/personal divide that’s at play:

As Coleen says: “We have been within the public eye… and because the first mistake he’s made that’s been within the public, folks haven’t forgiven him.”

She refers, we assume, to it being reported in 2010 that Wayne Rooney cheated on her with two intercourse staff whereas she was pregnant with their first little one. Which I feel we are able to all agree is an immoral factor.

Nonetheless, firstly, to guage their relationship on that’s to feed into this concept that Wayne Roonye’s solely value is the acts he can carry out along with his physique – whether or not they be sporting or sexual. And secondly, the general public (and writers like myself) pontificating on whether or not the Rooneys ought to nonetheless be married – and even questioning what his poems entail – is us demanding a non-public and emotional fact now we have no proper to.

Rooney’s poems are personal – and as Coleen Rooney says: “We’re not a lovey dovey couple in public… and when somebody has executed one thing only for you… the phrases imply one thing.”

Phrases do imply one thing: it’s why now we have poetry and soccer commentary within the first place. And nevertheless horrible these stanzas could also be, it doesn’t actually matter so long as the particular person we love likes them. Does it?

With none advance warning, Kendrick Lamar launched a brand new album referred to as GNX. Rodney Carmichael has been following all yr and shares his impressions.

AILSA CHANG, HOST:

After preserving the rap world on its heels all yr lengthy, buying and selling diss tracks with Drake, Kendrick Lamar is closing out 2024 with that very same power.

I imply, simply take heed to this primary track, “Wacced Out Murals,” the place he rhymes about an actual mural of him being defaced in his hometown, Compton, this yr after he gained his battle with Drake.

(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, “WACCED OUT MURALS”)

KENDRICK LAMAR: (Rapping) Yesterday, any individual whacked out my mural. That power will make you [expletive] transfer to Europe. However it’s common for me, yeah, that is for certain. The love and hate is particular with no treatment.

CHANG: Effectively, you listened to this complete album. Like, what are you able to inform us in regards to the really feel of “GNX,” moreover that it is darkish?

CARMICHAEL: (Laughter). Effectively, OK.

CHANG: (Laughter).

CARMICHAEL: Actually, what it’s is mainly Kendrick doubling and tripling down on this spirit of rebuke that he actually unleashed on hip-hop this yr. I imply, I really feel just like the album might actually be titled, I mentioned what I mentioned, ‘trigger…

(LAUGHTER)

CARMICHAEL: …That is all that he’s actually doing all through this complete album. The track “Man At The Backyard,” for instance, is mainly, like, a reference and possibly even an interpolation of Phil Collins’ “In The Air Tonight.” It builds actual gradual, similar to that track, and ends with Kendrick simply going ballistic.

(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, “MAN AT THE GARDEN”)

LAMAR: (Rapping) How annoying. Does it angers me to know the lames (ph) can communicate on the origins of the sport I breathe? That is insane to me. It is vital. I deserve all of it as a result of it is mine. Inform me why you suppose you deserve the best of all time.

CHANG: As a result of we’re speaking about Kendrick, I think about that there are extra surprises, like, past the shock that there was even an album launched immediately. Yeah?

CARMICHAEL: Yeah. In fact, in fact. So he works with some acquainted names in manufacturing, you understand, like Sounwave, DJ Dahi. However there are some large surprises, too. Jack Antonoff – he contributes a number of co-production, and…

CHANG: Wait. Is not he the producer for Taylor Swift?

CARMICHAEL: Precisely, finest identified for his manufacturing work with the likes of Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, Lorde. However yeah, he is…

CHANG: Wow.

CARMICHAEL: …Coming into Kendrick’s home on this one. However there’s additionally this R&B pressure flowing by means of sure songs on the album. You are feeling this softer pressure that is form of effervescent beneath this difficult, darkish exterior that he has. It virtually feels prefer it’s a brand new template that Kendrick’s setting for the place he needs hip-hop, you understand, and particularly, like, masculinity in hip-hop, to go – after he is accomplished burning it down, in fact.

(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, “HEART PT. 6”)

LAMAR: (Rapping) Prime had given us dominion within the dwelling he lived in hoping that we would see some tens of millions, God bless our hearts.

CHANG: That’s NPR’s Rodney Carmichael. Thanks a lot, Rodney.

CARMICHAEL: Thanks, Ailsa.
