Manchester United's record goalscorer is to play in Soccer Aid at Old Trafford on Sunday 15 June.
The former Reds and England captain is one of the leading figures participating in the huge charity event, which is certain to prove popular with supporters.
When assessing United, Rooney spoke about the impact made by Amad, before the Ivory Coast international suffered an ankle injury in training.
With head coach Ruben Amorim saying he hopes the 22-year-old can return before the campaign is out, Wazza said he was close to securing Amad's services, only to miss out to Rangers in January 2022.
