Wayne Rooney supports Jose Mourinho as a potential successor to Michael Carrick at Manchester United. The team currently sits 18th in the Premier League, with only eight points after ten games, marking their worst start in 40 years. Rooney argues that Mourinho’s experience and past success make him an ideal candidate, despite Mourinho currently managing Real Madrid. As United seeks a new manager, Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly the leading candidate, with a $10 million buyout clause in his contract with the U.S. National Team.
