Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has been backed to return to the Red Devils in a similar role that Benni McCarthy had.
Rooney and Plymouth recently parted ways after a string of poor results in the Championship, leaving the side bottom of the table at the midway point of the campaign.
Former United defender Wes Brown feels Rooney could be used at Old Trafford as a striker's coach to help Rasmus Hojlund.

The 39-year-old is the Red Devils' all-time leading scorer with 253 goals while he is also England second leading scorer with 53 goals.
"If Wayne wanted to spend time as a striking coach he would be absolutely brilliant at it, he was one of the best goalscorers we've ever seen and was a top playmaker as well," Brown told The Sports Daily.
"If he wanted to do that he would be very good on movement and things like that, he was one of the best to do it.
"Could he help Rasmus Hojlund at United? I think all young strikers would love to listen to Wayne and his knowledge. When I was a young player I remember getting a few tips from Laurent Blanc and the little things like that can really help.
"If Wayne was on hand to give out some advice I'm sure everyone would be willing to listen."
