  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Plymouth Argyle have been struggling to find form under Rooney this season, as the Pilgrims sit 23rd in the Championship standings. The Manchester United legend's side have struggled to score goals, with just 19 recorded in 20 games, the joint-lowest in the league. As such, it has been speculated that Plymouth may look to bring in more attacking options during the winter window, and Rooney has now revealed the Pilgrims' plans.

• WHAT ROONEY SAID

  When asked about the January transfer window, Rooney told reporters: “We know where we are at. We have got targets we want to bring in but it’s not always easy in January. For me, the most important thing is getting the four [injured] players back. That’s the main thing for me."

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Later in the media conference, Rooney was pressed further about plans for the January transfer window and who the Pilgrims have marked as targets. The Manchester United legend responded: “If we can get a couple, 2-3 players in, that will help as well. We are always looking. The game is both boxes so if we can tighten up at the back and have players available or bring players in to score more goals, that will give everyone a boost.”
