Plymouth manager Wayne Rooney was spotted in a local pub, belting his heart out performing karaoke.
The Manchester United legend was appointed as manager of Plymouth in May in shock circumstances and he has been enjoying life in the Devon city.
Not so much on the pitch, it must be said, having overseen one win in five matches – a victory over League Two outfit Cheltenham Town in the Carabao Cup.
But the 38-year-old looked in lively spirits at The Cider Press, belting out tunes on karaoke and receiving a great reception.

The former England international sported a baseball cap and a tracksuit, looking like he came straight from a match or training.
And Rooney was clearly enjoying himself, saying into the mic: “Make some f***ing noise, baby.”
While footage of the former striker has gone viral on social media, the singing might be too bad to to decipher what song he is belting out.
The ex-Everton and Derby County star has a tough ask keeping Argyle in the Championship, who were already one of the favourites for the drop this season.
But Rooney has started to win over the fans with his humbleness and down-to-earth style, while he won plenty of supporters over with his karaoke antics this week.
One fan wrote: “Nice to see Wayne letting his hair down …”

While another posted: “What a guy.”
And another said: “Go on Wazza!”
Rooney also posed with the bar staff and bouncer at Bar Rakuda, another pub in the Barbican area, with a caption reading: “Rekuda’s new regular.”

However, the Plymouth boss has insisted his side need to improve after crashing out of the Carabao Cup to Watford earlier in the week.
“There were some positives in there, we moved the ball nicely at times and played some good stuff at times,” Rooney told BBC Radio Devon.

“But I think we could have been more aggressive both in possession and out of possession.
“I felt we turned down really good opportunities to put the ball in the box and try and cause problems and try and get more shots at goal.”
