Wayne Rooney savaged by Gary Lineker over dismal managerial career as Match Of The Day pundit roasts Man Utd legend about disastrous Plymouth & Birmingham spells

<p>Rooney was a pundit as the BBC covered <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/pep-guardiola-over-thinking-winners-losers-arrogant-tactics-cost-man-city-fa-cup-final-crystal-palace-eberechi-eze-dean-henderson/blt99132320b7e19054" target="_blank">Crystal Palace's historic win over Manchester City</a> at Wembley. During half-time, Micah Richards asked about how Oliver Glasner would prepare his Eagles team for the second half, given that they were 1-0 up.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Eberechi Eze's strike proved decisive, and Palace were able to see the victory out in the second half. Rooney, of course, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-wayne-rooney-flopped-manager-man-utd-legend-told-problem-former-england-team-mate-hard-reset-coaching-career/blt44e9a80ae4711ae6" target="_blank">has been out of work</a> since losing his job at Plymouth Argyle in December, and Lineker drew attention to his dire record both with the Pilgrims, who were bottom of the Championship at the time of his sacking, and with Birmingham City, who were relegated after his reign.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Richards asked Rooney if he would change the way he plays if he were heading into half-time 1-0 up.</p><p>And Lineker quickly interjected, saying: "His teams were never 1-0 up!"</p><p>Rooney, Richards, and Glenn Murray, in the studio, were left in hysterics.</p>

WHAT LINEKER SAID

<p>Palace and City still have two Premier League games to play. The Eagles face Wolves and Liverpool, while City play Bournemouth and Fulham. </p>
