ROO EYES PILGRIMS PROGRESS

Wayne sets out vision for new role at Plymouth

- KEITH WEBSTER

WAYNE ROONEY has promised Plymouth fans exciting football and says he was itching to get out of the TV studio and back on the training ground.

The 38-year-old former Manchester United and England striker has been in charge of Derby, DC United and Birmingham since hanging up his boots.

And now he hopes to take what he learned from Alex Ferguson and use it to help forge success at Home Park.

"I've played under some great managers, including the best ever, so you look at everything they do," said Rooney as he officially got down to business having returned from BBC duty at the Euros.

"You look at different traits they have and take on the good ones. You have to adapt to situations and understand your players.
