Wayne Rooney says it would be a “no-brainer” to re-join Manchester United as a coach should Michael Carrick be appointed caretaker boss and he was offered the chance to be part of his staff.
The former United striker said: “The club has lost it’s identity, it’s lost that family feel, if you like. Whether it’s Ole [Ole Gunnar Solskjaer] or Michael, this is an opportunity to bring that back, bring the spirit of Manchester United back to the football club.”

Rooney was asked if he would join Carrick’s coaching staff, and said: “Of course I would. It’s a no-brainer.
“I’m not begging a job here by the way. Just so everyone knows, if I was asked to go in of course I would. Appointing the manager is the most important thing.
“Whether Michael goes in or if that’s Fletch [Darren Fletcher] or John O’Shea or myself, it needs people who know the football club.
“It needs people who know the football club. Roy Keane. I know Roy has had his opinions, I said about Roy going in earlier in the season. By having people who know the club, who care for the club and understand what it takes to be a Manchester United player. That’s where the club needs to be.”
