WAYNE ROONEY could be tempted to give Pharrell Williams a chance in the first team after his brace for the Birmingham academy side.

Rooney has not enjoyed the best of starts since taking over at St Andrew’s.

The Manchester United legend was appointed as John Eustace’s replacement in October.

However, since then, the club has fallen from sixth in the Championship to 18th.

Rooney, 38, has been in charge for five matches, losing four and drawing once.

In a bid to add more goals to his team, he could look to Blues youth prospect Williams.

The 17-year-old came off the bench to net a brace against Coventry United in the Birmingham Senior Cup Second Round.

However, fans could not help themselves but make jokes about his achievement due to his music star namesake.

One joked: “Bet he is happy.”

A second commented: “He’s about to get lucky.”

A third wrote: “It might seem crazy what I’m bout to say.”

A fourth posted: “He’ll be Happy with that.”

A fifth jested: “Bet he feels like a room without a roof with that goal!”

A sixth said: “Was it a good strike or did he get lucky?”

Another added: “You could argue he got lucky with that tap in!”

The Blues won the tie 4-0 with the other goals coming from Rico Patterson and Junior Dixon.

They have now put their hat into the third round of the competition.

Despite the club’s poor form under Rooney, he has remained optimistic.

Speaking after Saturday’s defeat to Sunderland, he said: “The last three games have seen positives and improvement.

“It could have gone either way. We caused them some big problems throughout and got into some excellent positions.”
