Former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney believes his ex-club should sign Tottenham Hotspur's Mauricio Pochettino as the head coach.
Pochettino has been heavily linked with United since the departure of Jose Mourinho. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was appointed as United's interim boss until the end of the season and Rooney thinks the Argentine has all that it takes to take the club to another level.
Speaking to ESPN, Rooney said, "First of all, you have to give Ole an opportunity and that's a discussion that has to take place with the Glazers. But if I had the opportunity to appoint someone, I'd go all out for Pochettino."
"I think Manchester United -- certainly over the last 20, 30 years, since Alex Ferguson -- have based themselves on youth players, young players, bringing players through. I think [Pochettino] gets the best out of his players whether they are younger or older."
"You see some of the young players he has brought through at Tottenham, at Southampton that have gone on to play for the national team, so I think he ticks every box in terms of his quality as a coach, but also his willingness to give youth a chance."
