Interim England manager Gareth Southgate confirmed Rooney would retain the captaincy of the national side in the wake of Sam Allardyce's departure, despite him losing his starting spot at Manchester United.
Rooney's performance during Allardyce's sole game in charge — the last-gasp 1-0 World Cup qualifying win in Slovakia — was widely criticized, particularly after the then manager told a post-match news conference "Wayne played wherever he wanted to".
