Mark sticks it to Wayne Rooney about his MLS days. 🤣
Michael Carrick's selection problems and possible managerial alternatives fill The United Stand's recent uploads. A lighter conversation with Wayne Rooney has provided a different talking point: Mark Goldbridge taking a dig at his guest's MLS days.
The Short reached about 118,000 views in ten hours, already drawing nearly four times the channel's usual full-day audience for this format. That brisk start comes while daily views across the wider channel are below half their usual level.
Rooney's American playing spell was with D.C. United, after his return to Everton following his long Manchester United career. It gives Goldbridge a subject beyond the familiar Old Trafford arguments in this excerpt from Stick to United.
The responses focus on the exchange itself. Some viewers back Goldbridge's point; others suggest he should own the remark or keep going rather than retreat from it. The clip offers a change of tone beside the channel's longer discussions of injuries, Atlético Madrid and Carrick's options.
