Wayne Rooney says it would be a "no-brainer" to re-join Manchester United as a coach should Michael Carrick be appointed caretaker boss and he was offered the chance to be part of his staff. The former United striker said: "The club has lost it's identity, it's lost that family feel, if you like. Whether it's Ole [Ole Gunnar Solskjaer] or Michael, this is an opportunity to bring that back, bring the spirit of Manchester United back to the football club." I know Roy has had his opinions, I said about Roy going in earlier in the season. By having people who know the club, who care for the club and understand what it takes to be a Manchester United player.
