'It's completely wrong!' - Rooney's England return outrages Shilton

Wayne Rooney's one-off return to the England squad in a charity friendly against USA has been branded "wrong" and "backwards" by former Three Lions star Peter Shilton.

The 33-year-old said he is "truly humbled and hugely excited" to be making his way back into the fold for the November friendly, having last played for the Three Lions in November 2016. He retired the following August as England's all-time top scorer with 53 goals from 119 appearances.

The D.C. United star will win his 120th cap in the game, which will raise money for the Wayne Rooney Foundation and other charities, such as children's charity NSPCC.
