As soon as he started a new role with the Match of the Day program, Wayne Rooney attracted attention with the bold predictions about the Premier League 2025/26.
The former legendary striker of MU and England, Wayne Rooney, officially joined the commentator of the Match of the Day program on the BBC since this season according to A contract worth £ 800,000 per year. This information was exclusively revealed by Sunsport in July and immediately attracted the attention of English football fans.
In the new season prediction program, Rooney surprised colleagues and audiences with their comments on the ranking of the Premier League teams 2025/26. Surprisingly, Liverpool was predicted by Rooney to successfully defend the throne, or Arsenal maintained the second position, but the job MU will appear in the top 5. It was a great leap with a team that played bowl and rolled in the 15th place in the last season last season.
Explaining this option, Rooney said that coach Ruben Amorim is bringing significant improvements to the play of “Red Devils”. Rooney's former team also has quality enhancements, especially for the attack. However, Rooney said that the team still needs to add 1-2 rookie if they want to compete with other top teams. “I think MU will make it in the top 5, maybe even higher,” he said.
The atmosphere of the field became exciting when commentator Julien Laurens humorously asked: “Which team have you played for?” Rooney immediately replied, “Everton”, causing the whole crew to laugh.
Besides the final ranking, Rooney also made a series of predictions about outstanding individuals. He thinks Liverpool's Jeremie Frimpong will be the best contract in the season. Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah will successfully defend the top scorer. Another player of The Kop is Rio lumoha Rooney is expected to be the “breakthrough star of the year”. Regarding rookies, he said that Leeds United will be the team with the highest ranking in the trio that has just been promoted (besides Bunrley and Sunderland).
It can be clearly seen that in the new role, Rooney tried to show the fairness of giving appreciation for Liverpool and Leeds. These are all rivals of Rooney before. Rooney's Liverpool and Everton are not in the same heaven, and similar to Leeds with MU. Liverpool and MU themselves do not like each other.
