Wayne, Kelly and Kae tackle the latest uncertainty at Manchester United amid reports that Michael Carrick or Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could return as interim manager.

Wayne explains why he believes Carrick is the right fit for the role, whether he’d consider joining his backroom team, and what his very first message to the players would be if he stepped back into the club. He also names his ideal long-term appointment at United and debates whether it still matters to have coaches with a deep history and understanding of the club, questioning if United has lost its famous family feel.

Wayne’s brother, John Rooney, also joins the pod to reflect on Macclesfield’s incredible FA Cup upset victory over Crystal Palace. John reveals the secrets behind the win and shares a brilliant behind-the-scenes story of his captain clearing snow off the pitch on a tractor in the build-up to the match.

In a powerful moment, John opens up about how difficult it was addressing the squad following the tragic death of one of his players, Ethan McLeod.

Wayne and John also reminisce about playing football together as kids, including the story of John smashing a window at home just before Wayne’s FA Youth Cup Final appearance.
