British media has linked Pochettino and Ten Hag to the top job
at United, with interim manager Ralf Rangnick's tenure set to
end after this season.
Pochettino led Tottenham Hotspur to the Champions League final
in the 2018-19 season before joining PSG in January 2021, where
he has helped them win two trophies.
"Pochettino has done it in the Premier League. He knows the
league," Derby County manager Rooney told Sky Sports.
"If I'm choosing between those two, I'd go for Pochettino. He
would need time and given time he would do well.
"Pochettino is a top manager and he knows how to work with
top-class players and young players. They need to get that blend
right because they can't afford to fail again."
United are seventh in the Premier League on 51 points with eight
matches left to play.
