Wayne Rooney has made his feelings clear on who should be Manchester United's next head coach. Michael knows, he's been at that club, he was at that club for a long time, he knows what that takes, and, yeah, he's a good manager, I think he's shown that.Roberto De Zerbi has been repeatedly linked with the managerial role at Man Utd.

Why would you go and try to find someone who is a risk like if you say De Zerbi, it's another one where you're going into thinking this could be a risk and you take another backwards step if that doesn't work, so, for me, (Carrick) has to get it."Yet Rooney's former England colleague Steven Gerrard holds De Zerbi in exceptionally high regard.

I think Mikel Arteta has been extremely clever here because he's sending him to De Zerbi as well, who has got a track record for improving players, and he will give him the time and education and development and he'll get more game time playing for Marseille. He's a top talent, and now he's got to go and get experience and this will be great for him for the future."
