Wayne Rooney thinks ‘Mr Everton’ Duncan Ferguson can land job by beating Man Utd – The Sun

WAYNE ROONEY reckons ‘Mr Everton’ Duncan Ferguson can bag the manager’s job if he beats Manchester United tomorrow.

Roo is backing his former Toffees team-mate as the perfect man to lift the gloom after Marco Silva’s Goodison sacking.

He said: “Duncan is Mr Everton and the players put in a real big performance for him against Chelsea — and the fans needed that.”

Ferguson galvanised the Premier League strugglers by inspiring them to a 3-1 win over the Blues.

Rooney, who left Everton for United in 2004 before returning in 2017, grinned: “I saw he was wearing a suit and sweatbands!

“He won’t take them off, he’s had them for years. He had them years ago when I was there so they must smell!

“But that’s Duncan. I saw somewhere that he also had Howard Kendall’s watch on — which was a nice touch as well.

“Fans needed to see that passion from the team, but also from the manager.

“If Duncan gets a win on Sunday it probably puts him in the reckoning to get it full-time.”

Ferguson must convince owner Farhad Moshiri to overlook Carlo Ancelotti, Unai Emery and David Moyes to get the job on a permanent basis.

After his emotional celebrations against Chelsea, Ferguson claims he will go even more wild if they win at Old Trafford.

He said: “I’m not gonna change. I’d be on the roof if we get a win there.
