Souness said, courtesy of Sky Bet : “I like listening to Wayne Rooney as a pundit because he talks common sense.

“I love Wayne Rooney as a player, and I like to listen to him – he has got authority so I can listen to him.
“Some of the other pundits, I turn the sound down.”
Rooney has been appearing as a pundit on BBC’s after a series of disappointing stints in management with the likes of Birmingham, Plymouth and DC United.
