Carrick will bring spirit of Man Utd back - Rooney
Wayne Rooney says it would be a "no-brainer" to rejoin Manchester United as a coach should Michael Carrick be appointed caretaker boss and he was offered the chance to be part of his staff.
A former United and England team-mate of Rooney, Carrick has emerged as the favourite to take the helm at Old Trafford until the end of the season, with former boss Ruben Amorim sacked on 5 January.
Former Scotland midfielder Darren Fletcher, who also played alongside Rooney at United, has been handed temporary responsibility for first-team affairs following Amorim's departure and oversaw the Premier League draw at Burnley and the 2-1 FA Cup defeat against Brighton.
Club chiefs are hoping to have the caretaker appointment in place for when players return to training on Wednesday.
