While ex-Manchester United forward Rooney would ideally like Manchester City boss Guardiola to take up the Three Lions hotseat, he also feels England Under-21 boss Carsley has done enough to be in with a shout, too.

WHAT HAPPENED?

He told Sky Sports: "I'd like Pep to be honest. I think England have to strive for the best managers and Pep would be great; the way he gets his team's playing. But I think Lee Carsley deserves his opportunity. I played with Lee at Everton, we were both younger and he is a very good person and coach. He's done really well with England's under-21s, similar to Gareth's pathway. So I think he deserves this opportunity and if he does well, maybe you are looking at the next England manager."<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">🗣️ "I'd like Pep to be honest" Wayne Rooney gives his thoughts on the search for Gareth Southgate's replacement 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 <a href="https://t.co/4D8L7KmuND">pic.twitter.com/4D8L7KmuND</a>— Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) <a href="https://twitter.com/SkySportsNews/status/1821859030978973773?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 9, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT WAYNE ROONEY SAID

Carsley has been linked with the England job, alongside ex-Chelsea head coach Graham Potter and Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe - although he<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/eddie-howe-confirms-commitment-newcastle-england-gareth-southgate-replacement-rumours/blt4e86f7141f31da63" target="_blank"> appears intent on staying at St James' Park</a> for now. Former Liverpool boss <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jurgen-klopp-claims-taking-england-job-biggest-loss-of-face-history-football-ex-liverpool-boss-breaks-silence-future/bltc3f97a3b3c3b22b9" target="_blank">Jurgen Klopp ruled himself out</a> of the role so it remains to be seen who will take over from Southgate.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

While the FA continues to look for Southgate's successor, they may have an eye on Guardiola - who is out of contract next summer. Whether the Spaniard will take up the role, if offered it, remains to be seen.
