Wayne Rooney to star in new documentary as TV company make huge decision over new role

tenure at Plymouth Argyle is set to be the focus of a new 'fly on the wall' documentary. The Manchester United legend, who took over at Plymouth in the summer, has had a mixed start, with four wins and four draws from his first 15 Championship games.

This leaves Argyle, who narrowly avoided relegation to League One last season, in 18th place and just one point above the relegation zone. And according to The Sun, the documentary will chronicle time at Plymouth, with filming already underway.

It's reported that a leading production company approached and secured Plymouth's approval to begin filming. Cameras have been capturing both at matches and off the pitch as he settles into life in Devon.

Rooney's move to the south west for his latest managerial role has piqued the interest of TV companies, keen to document his new journey and Argyle's battle to remain in the Championship. Following the success of similar documentaries about Wrexham and Sunderland, there's been increased interest in this type of programming.

The documentary also suggests that Rooney is likely to remain at Plymouth for the rest of the season. The 39-year-old was dismissed from his position at Birmingham in January and spent six months away from management before returning to replace Ian Foster as Plymouth's next permanent manager.

The news coincides with Rooney's wife, Coleen, appearing on ITV's I'm A Celebrity. The 38-year-old former TV star is part of a stellar 10-person line-up that includes ex-professional boxer Barry McGuigan, Coronation Street actor Alan Halsall, Loose Women host Jane Moore and content creator GK Barry.

Rooney has comfortably adapted to life in Plymouth, residing in a plush development by the River Tamar, just a short 10-minute drive from Home Park. Moreover, Rooney has been mingling with the locals at some of the bars, providing ample material for his upcoming documentary.
