The 36 year old Wayne Rooney was on Monday Night Football with former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher. Wayne Rooney admitted that he would choose Mauricio Pochettino over Erik ten Hag to become the next Manchester United boss.

“I think Pochettino has done it in the Premier League, he knows the Premier League,” said Rooney, who won five Premier League titles as a player at United.

“At Tottenham he brought in a lot of young players, and at Southampton as well he brought a lot of young players through, so if I’m choosing between one of them two, that’s who I’d choose.

“I’d go with Pochettino and I’d give him time I think. For managers now they need time to come in and actually make their print on the club and on the team and if they give him time I think he’ll do well.”
