Rooney keen to prove himself as manager at Plymouth

The former Manchester United and England captain was appointed by the second-tier club in May. Rooney previously lasted just three months in charge at Birmingham, sacked in January just 83 days into a tenure in which he oversaw nine defeats in 15 games. Birmingham had been sixth in the Championship at the time of Rooney's appointment but they ended the campaign getting relegated. The former forward, who has previously managed at Derby and DC United in the United States, intends to put that experience behind him.
