Michael Carrick won 63 of his 136 games in charge of Middlesbrough
Wayne Rooney says caretaker head coach Michael Carrick is the "right choice at this moment in time" to "steady the ship" at Manchester United.
United confirmed that Carrick would take charge until the end of the season - succeeding Ruben Amorim - on Tuesday.
Rooney and Carrick were team-mates at Old Trafford, playing together on 366 occasions and winning five Premier League titles.
"It is probably the obvious choice really because I don't think there are any top, top managers available at the minute," he said on the latest edition of BBC podcast The Wayne Rooney Show.
