9月24日，据24直播网报道，曼联传奇球星鲁尼在参与《鲁尼家族的真实面貌》纪录片时，分享了他成为体育评论员的历程，他强调，投身此职业并非出于对金钱的追求。
"According to Rooney, 'My motivation extends beyond financial gain; it's about seeking a purpose, something more substantial than mere idleness at home. There's a chance I may never return to coaching, so it's crucial to maintain a forward-thinking attitude. I'm contemplating joining 'The Masked Singer,' but I'm fully aware that I'll likely face a torrent of criticism.'"
面对妻子科琳的询问，鲁尼坦言：“并非如此，我持有现实主义的态度。身为一名运动员，我们深知自己职业生涯的终点，并能够据此进行相应的规划。”
Upon entering the subsequent phase of coaching, one is uncertain regarding the duration of their tenure, whether it will span a year, two years, a decade, or merely three months. The absence of preparedness in the face of job loss is a common experience.
