Wayne Rooney’s appearance on Monday Night Football received widespread praise

Wayne Rooney made his first appearance as a pundit on Monday Night Football, and didn't disappoint.

Rooney was in excellent form on his debut on the Sky Sports show, coming across as intelligent, articulate and honest. The former England captain is already better than many football pundits on British television. He provided interesting analysis on his old team Manchester United, on Premier League leaders Manchester City and on comparisons between the Liverpool front-three of Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, and the United front-three he formed with Carlos Tevez and Cristiano Ronaldo. https://twitter.com/SkySportsMNF/status/960600162799423488 Following Chelsea's 4-1 loss to Watford, the Everton forward reflected on his career to date, telling some great stories from his time at United, England and his first spell with Everton. https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_UK/status/960597125938712578 Rooney said towards the end of the show that he would like to become a manager when he retires, but he could become an excellent football pundit if he doesn't end up in the dugout. His appearance received widespread praise on Monday night, with many agreeing that the former United captain showed a different side to himself than we had previously witnessed in his post-match interviews. https://twitter.com/Carra23/status/960663806417559552 https://twitter.com/_PaulHayward/status/960651929125900288 https://twitter.com/MelissaReddy_/status/960649205621641216 https://twitter.com/TonyEvans92a/status/960668443879014400 https://twitter.com/tomwfootball/status/960652246609547264 https://twitter.com/davidpreece12/status/960666044422672386 https://twitter.com/DominicKing_DM/status/960653256623083520 https://twitter.com/KellyCates/status/960652687711916033
