Wayne Rooney insider SHARES FRIGHTENING HEALTH UPDATE after worrying photo sparks concern for his health as he’s pictured looking ‘really bad’ while watching Man United’s loss to Tottenham at Old Trafford
Wayne Rooney has sparked concern for his health after being pictured looking ‘really bad’ while watching Manchester United’s defeat by Tottenham yesterday.
The United and England legend was spotted in the stands at Old Trafford during his former club’s 3-0 loss and looked distinctly unimpressed with their performance.
Rooney, 38, has been in good spirits in recent weeks after steering Plymouth Argyle to two wins from their last four Championship games, boosting their survival bid.
However, his condition just three years after retiring has left supporters worried.
A photo of Rooney watching United while clad in a black coat was shared by Sky Sports on X and several users were quick to urge him to take care of himself.

‘He looks really bad’, one account posted in response.
‘Hang in there, Wayne,’ another said, perhaps in a tongue-in-cheek fashion.
‘Rooney looks older than his age,’ a third added. ‘He needs to take care of himself.’
A fourth account wrote ‘He looks too old’, accompanied by a crying emoji.
‘Is he suffocating, he’s all red?’ a fifth asked. ‘Asking out of concern.’
Rooney confessed in 2022 that he only had one suit that still fitted him after being ribbed over his appearance by Jamie Carragher on Sky’s Monday Night Football.
Carragher noticed Rooney was wearing the same suit, shirt and tie combination from his Premier League Hall of Fame induction a fortnight before the show.
X users urged Rooney to take better care of himself after spotting him at Old Trafford.

Rooney responded: ‘Do you know what? There’s a reason behind that.
Obviously, over the last year, I’ve put a little bit of weight on. So it’s actually the only suit what’ll fit me at the minute – I’ve got to get the most out of it.’
Rooney has previously opened up on his fight to avoid piling on the pounds during his trophy-laden playing career, writing in his 2012 book My Decade In The Premier League: ‘I’m like most blokes, I put on a few pounds after a holiday.
‘Even if I don’t train for a week, I put on two or three.’
