Wayne Rooney would jump at the opportunity to return to Manchester United as a coach, saying it would be a ‘no-brainer’ of a decision.

The Red Devils are reportedly close to appointing Michael Carrick as interim manager until the end of the season.

Ruben Amorim was dismissed as manager earlier this month, with Darren Fletcher stepping in as caretaker boss, but results have not gone well under the Scot’s watch.

A 2-2 draw with Burnley in the Premier League was followed by an FA Cup third round exit at the hands of Brighton at Old Trafford.

Carrick is expected to take over imminently and lead the team for the rest of the season, with a permanent appointment to be made in the summer.

With former Manchester United players managing the club, Rooney would love to return to Old Trafford and get involved as well.

The former England forward believes it is in Manchester United’s best interest to have people who know the club at the helm.
