Wayne Rooney will co-host a new Manchester United‑dedicated show alongside influencer Mark Goldbridge this season. Former United captain Gary Neville bought Goldbridge's YouTube channels earlier this year, bringing The United Stand and That's Football into his Overlap network.

Rooney, a regular pundit on the Overlap's Stick to Football, will wybodaeth a new show called Stick to United with Wayne Rooney. It is part of a distribution deal signed with Disney+, set to show 50 episodes of Stick to United and 40 episodes of Stick to Football this season. Neville says the partnership "expands our reach without compromising our identity".

The Overlap, founded in 2021, has expanded into cricket and rugby. Neville, co‑chair, paid an undisclosed seven‑figure sum to acquire Goldbridge's channels in April. Goldbridge (real name Brent di Cesare) has 3.8 million followers. Clips from his videos go viral for outlandish reactions and controversial football opinions.

The Wayne Rooney Show will return to BBC platforms this season, while Rooney continues punditry on Match of the Day.
