Wayne Rooney has sparked concerns about his wellbeing following his appearance at Old Trafford during Manchester United's loss to Tottenham.

Wayne Rooney, the legendary former Manchester United and England striker, has sparked concern among fans after a photo of him was shared by Sky Sports during Manchester United's disappointing 3-0 loss to Tottenham at Old Trafford.

The image, which showed Rooney seated in the stands, quickly drew attention and led to an outpouring of worry from supporters.

The 38-year-old, now managing Plymouth Argyle, has recently been in good spirits after guiding his team to two wins in their last four Championship matches.

However, the stark appearance captured during the match has raised alarms about his health just three years after his retirement from professional football.

Fans took to social media to voice their concerns. Comments ranged from expressions of worry, with one user stating, "He looks really bad," to more light-hearted remarks, like "Hang in there, Wayne."

Another fan commented on Rooney's appearance, urging him to prioritise his well-being.

This is not the first time Rooney has faced scrutiny over his appearance. In 2022, he humorously acknowledged his struggle to maintain his weight after being teased by Jamie Carragher about wearing the same suit on multiple occasions.

Rooney has candidly discussed his battle with weight gain throughout his career, admitting, "I'm like most blokes, I put on a few pounds after a holiday."

The concerns for Rooney’s health come as he continues to navigate the pressures of management while reflecting on a career that has left an indelible mark on football.
