Wayne Rooney was unequivocal when asked who he felt should be Manchester United's next permanent boss.
Ajax boss Erik ten Hag is the current favourite, but for United's record goalscorer Rooney, Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino is the ideal fit. "Pochettino's done it in the Premier League, he knows the Premier League,” said Rooney on Sky's Monday Night Football. "At Tottenham he brought a lot of young players through, at Southampton as well he brought a lot of young players through.
“So if I'm choosing from one of them two, that's who I'd choose, I'd go for Pochettino and give him time. If you give him time I think he'll do well. Pochettino, in my opinion, is a top manager. He knows how to work with top class players but also with young players. They need to get that blend right because they can't afford to fail again."
