The Wayne Rooney Show – Carrick or Ole? Wayne reveals who should take over as United coach

Available for over a year

Wayne, Kelly and Kai deal with the latest uncertainty at Manchester United amid reports that either Michael Carrick or Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could return as caretaker manager. Wayne explains why he thinks Carrick is the right person for the role, whether he would consider joining his backroom team, and what his first message to players would be if he returned to the club. He also outlines his ideal long-term appointment at United, discusses whether it is still important to have managers with a deep history and understanding of the club, and questions whether United have lost their famous family sense. Wayne’s brother, John Rooney, also joins the group to reflect on Macclesfield’s stunning FA Cup win over Crystal Palace. John reveals his winning secrets and shares a fascinating behind-the-scenes story of his team captain clearing snow from the field using a tractor in the lead-up to the match. In a poignant moment, John speaks candidly about how difficult it is to address the team following the tragic death of one of their players, Ethan McLeod. Wayne and John also remember playing football together as children, including a story of John smashing a window at home before Wayne’s appearance in the FA Youth Cup Final.
