coaching staff
United boss Jim Ratcliffe has worked hard to move away from old school Man Utd. He skipped Sir Alex Ferguson from the payroll early on, cut positions at the club with a chainsaw and brought in Ruben Amorim, with a football as far removed from “Man Utd football” as you can get. The reshuffle department has also been cut, here they will invest in new technology to find the right players. Then came the dismissal of Amorim, in old school Michael Carrick is brought in as interim head coach. This must pain Ratcliffe to “go back in his old ways”. We are in favour of someone who understands the Premier League and Manchester United being back at the club, but also for us there is a limit. The line is drawn by Wayne Rooney.
As a football talker with his own “The Wayne Rooney Show”, the United icon can talk about other people’s games and ratings, which seems to suit him well. What Rooney has shown he should stay away from is the training ground and the sidelines on matchday. The head coaching jobs at Birmingham and Plymouth were just as short, as they were unsuccessful. Now Rooney wants to join Carrington as Carrick’s wingman.

“Of course I wanted to (be part of Carrick’s coaching staff),” Rooney says in his own podcast.
According to Wayne Rooney, it is important for Manchester United to have players who know the club and know what it means to be a Manchester United player.
We hear what you’re saying, Wayne, but I really hope Carrick leans on someone who has the coaching profession in his pockets.
