Wayne Rooney, the former Manchester United star, has articulated his support for Michael Carrick to be retained as the club's manager, opposing the potential appointment of Luis Enrique, the current coach of Paris Saint-Germain. Rooney argues that after several attempts to appoint high-profile managers, it is time for the club to focus on home-grown talent, exemplified by Carrick's successful interim performance since taking over after Ruben Amorim's dismissal.

Rooney highlights Carrick's ability to forge important connections between the first team and the club's academy, an element he believes is crucial for Manchester United’s identity. According to Rooney, the legacy of the Class of '92, which included prominent players like himself, is an essential part of the club's history, and sustaining this legacy requires investment in individuals who understand the club's culture and values.

While Luis Enrique has an impressive track record, having won the UEFA Champions League, Rooney’s perspective emphasizes the importance of continuity and nurturing talent from within, advocating for a managerial approach that prioritizes stability and long-term growth over big-name signings and changes that might disrupt the club’s foundation.
