Wayne Rooney reveals who he wants as England's next permanent manager to succeed Gareth Southgate - as Lee Carsley is appointed interim boss for Nations League matches next month

Wayne Rooney has named his pick for England's next permanent boss - and he's aiming for the stars.

Lee Carsley has been unveiled as the national team's interim boss following Gareth Southgate's resignation last month.

The England Under-21s boss will take charge of Nations League matches against Ireland and Finland in September.

Southgate got the permanent job in 2016 after four interim games and it is a huge opportunity for Carsley to prove he has what it takes.

But Manchester United legend Rooney, speaking before Carsley was announced as the temporary steerer of England's fate, revealed his desire to see another man in the hot seat.
