Carrick In Charge! Klopp to United? Ornstein and McKola React
Wayne is joined by David Ornstein and Adam McKola to discuss why Michael Carrick got the Man Utd job, the Manchester derby and if a cheeky bid for Jurgen Klopp could ever work
The Wayne Rooney Show is back with a heavyweight panel as Wayne, Kelly and Kae are joined by The Athletic鈥檚 David Ornstein and Manchester United fan and broadcaster Adam McKola to break down a huge week at Old Trafford.
The discussion centres on Manchester United鈥檚 decision to appoint Michael Carrick as interim manager, with Ornstein explaining why the club hierarchy opted for Carrick over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Darren Fletcher. Wayne gives a unique insight into Carrick鈥檚 character, revealing the steely side of his former teammate and why he won鈥檛 be a soft touch in the dugout.
Ornstein also lifts the lid on why the chance to get it right at United remains one of the biggest opportunities in world sport, before Adam goes big with his theory that the club should make an all-out move for J眉rgen Klopp. Wayne delivers his verdict on Steve Holland鈥檚 arrival in the backroom staff, and the panel debates the merits of Sir Gareth Southgate as a potential long-term appointment.
Ornstein reveals whether United could be active in the January transfer window, and Wayne explains why he believes signings are needed now to steal a march on their rivals. The panel also assesses Sir Jim Ratcliffe鈥檚 influence on football decisions, debates whether there鈥檚 still plenty for United to play for this season, and predicts how Carrick may tweak the team鈥檚 formation.
Wayne questions whether Kobbie Mainoo needs to do more to force his way back into the side, before attention turns to this weekend鈥檚 Manchester derby and how United might approach one of the biggest games of the season.
