It was a losing start to life as Plymouth Argyle manager for Wayne Rooney as they lost 4-0 away at Sheffield Wednesday.
Manchester United icon Wayne Rooney endured a difficult first game in charge of Plymouth Argyle as they were beaten 4-0 against Sheffield Wednesday.
The mistake was elementary in the context of Rooney's bow as the new man in charge of the Pilgrims. Rooney's side endured a difficult afternoon as Sheffield Wednesday enjoyed the lion's share of possession and eventually found the breakthrough after 35 minutes with Jamal Lowe scoring on his debut.READ MORE: United have an unexpected starting attack for opening Premier League fixture
Nine minutes from time, the three points were wrapped up after Josh Windass' composed finish rounded off a free-flowing move for Danny Rohl's side. Deep into stoppage time, Wednesday added a fourth marking a miserable outing for Argyle. Rooney made his return to the dugout months after he was sacked by Birmingham City after 83 days and 15 matches in January following a torrid spell in the dugout at St Andrew's.
