bought Goldbridge’s YouTube channels earlier this year,<\/a> bringing the influencer’s The United Stand and That’s Football into his Overlap network. <\/p>\nRooney, who is a regular pundit on the Overlap’s Stick to Football show, will now front a new show alongside Goldbridge called Stick to United with Wayne Rooney.<\/p>\n
It is part of a distribution deal signed with Disney+, which will show 50 episodes of Stick to United and 40 episodes of Stick to Football this season. <\/p>\n
Neville says the partnership “expands our reach without compromising our identity”. <\/p>\n
The former England defender founded The Overlap in 2021 and it has since expanded into other sports such as cricket and rugby. <\/p>\n
Neville, who co-chairs the company, paid an undisclosed seven-figure sum to acquire Goldbridge’s channels in April. <\/p>\n
Goldbridge, whose real name is Brent di Cesare, has more than 3.8 million followers across his two YouTube channels.<\/p>\n
Clips from Goldbridge’s videos often go viral online for his outlandish reactions and controversial football opinions.<\/p>\n
Neville has previously criticised Arsenal-dedicated fan YouTube channel ArsenalFanTV, labelling it as “embarrassing” after fans on the platform berated then manager Arsene Wenger following a 3-1 defeat by Chelsea in 2017.<\/p>\n
Neville’s comments led to a Twitter spat between him and ArsenalFanTV, and he later appeared in an interview on the channel to clarify his views.<\/p>\n
The Wayne Rooney Show will return to BBC platforms this season, while the former England captain will continue his punditry role on Match of the Day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wayne Rooney will co-host a new Manchester United-dedicated show alongside influencer Mark Goldbridge this season.
