well who else would it be? If Giggs finally retires and Rio retires or goes somewhere else, as expected, then Rooney is the longest-serving guy on the club anyway. Heck, it's very much possible that him and Carrick will be the last guys left from the glorious night in Moscow 08. If he signs a new contract, I have no issues with him being captain at all. Say what you will about him, but the work ethic on the pitch is always there.
And really, there are no other candidates. Jones will be a captain at some point, but it's way too early for that. Same for Evans. And if it's between Rooney and Carrick, I choose Rooney.
