Wayne Rooney is fronting a new original football show for Disney+.
The 40-year-old former England star has landed a new 50-episode run with the streamer as part of its new exclusive one-year sponsorship deal with The Overlap for the 2025/26 Premier League season.
Stick to United with Wayne Rooney, which he will host with YouTuber Mark Goldbridge has been commissioned and will debut with 50 episodes on Disney+ from August 18.
As confirmed by the streaming platform, the two hosts "will analyse Manchester United’s latest results and performances, providing fans with expert insight, honest opinion and in-depth discussion on the biggest talking points surrounding the club".
The programme will launched on Disney+, "alongside existing streaming platforms and The Overlap’s The United Stand YouTube channel, with extended episode content exclusive to the streaming service".
Meanwhile, the deal between The Overlap and Disney+ also means 40 brand new episodes of Stick to Football are also coming to the platform.
The show is hosted by Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Jill Scott, Ian Wright and Roy Keane, and sees the group frequently joined by a star-studded lineup of guests to discuss the hot topics in the world of football.
Wayne has been working as a TV pundit since being sacked as manager of Plymouth Argyle in December 2024, and he previously suggested he was happy being in the studio.
Speaking to talkSPORT in June 2025, he said: "Obviously just doing some TV work at the minute, so that’s what I’m doing. I’m enjoying it. So, that’s where I’ll be."
Wayne revealed earlier that year that he was not in a "massive rush" to return to management after being dismissed by Plymouth with the team at the bottom of the Championship.
The Manchester United great said: "I'm not in a massive rush to go back in – there's different things that I'm looking at to try and get involved with – unless something was absolutely the right to do.
"Every club I've been at, I've put myself in a really challenging situation.
"Sometimes you have got different ideas which you're trying to put across to the players, and maybe there's a bit of arrogance where you're thinking, 'This is the right way.' Having better players helps."
