Wayne Rooney is being tipped to make a whopping 70 times his current salary at Plymouth Argyle by diving into a totally unexpected career path.
The Manchester United legend is back in the management game with Championship side Plymouth after his exit from Birmingham last season. So far, Plymouth has only snagged one win in five games in England’s second division, and Rooney’s itching to turn things around soon.
But hey, could Rooney be better off chasing a completely different gig?
A recent study suggests he could rake in a fortune by joining the popular platform OnlyFans. In fact, his earnings could even outshine what he made during his glory days at Manchester United.
Right now, the former England captain is reportedly pocketing £500,000 a year at Plymouth, which is pretty standard for Championship budgets. But according to Footy Accumulators, Rooney could potentially earn over £35 million annually on OnlyFans.
With 16.3 million followers on Instagram, it’s predicted that if Rooney brought those fans over to OnlyFans, he’d be in for a massive payday. Just for a bit of context, his highest salary at Manchester United peaked at £15 million a year.
And guess what? Rooney isn’t the only football star who could cash in on OnlyFans. Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola, with his 8.1 million Instagram followers, could rake in nearly £17.5 million a year. Meanwhile, Middlesbrough manager Michael Carrick could reportedly earn over £3 million annually.
