"Mike is someone I know well having worked with him when I was a player at Manchester United and he has vast experience at the highest level of football," said Rooney in a statement. This highlights the respect and trust Rooney has in Phelan's abilities as they take on the challenge at Plymouth Argyle.
"I am sad to see Pete leave the club," added Rooney. "He is someone I have worked with very closely throughout my managerial career, having first met at Derby County and he has also been a close friend." This underscores the strong personal and professional bond between Rooney and Shuttleworth, providing context for his departure.
