Disney+ has officially secured the rights for The Overlap’s podcast content in a deal worth millions. The streaming service will broadcast 40 episodes of Stick to Football, which will feature the regular line-up of Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Jill Scott, Ian Wright and Roy Keane.

In addition, the company will also produce 50 episodes of a brand-new programme, entitled Stick to United, which will be hosted by Wayne Rooney and YouTube sensation Mark Goldbridge.

While the content creator has his fans, many Manchester United supporters are extremely frustrated that a legend of the sport would choose to go in this direction.

Consequently, an army of enraged football enthusiasts has headed to social media to voice their opinions.

One said: “Goldbridge? He’s a Nottingham Forest fan who spouts nonsense.” Another added: “State of this. Wrong in every way. I expected more from Wayne Rooney.”

A third wrote: “With Rooney on board I was getting excited, but then I saw Mark Goldbridge’s name. I would rather watch grass grow. He is not a United fan. He is anti-Manchester United in every way. Shame on you, Wayne Rooney.”

A fourth fumed: “There’s no way I’m subscribing to listen to Goldbridge. Surely Rooney can do better than this.”

A fifth commented: “Anything to do with this virus, Goldbridge is a resounding no from any self-respecting Manchester United fan.”
