The highest goalscorer in Three Lions history will win his 120th and final cap with a cameo appearance against the USA on Thursday
Wayne Rooney has defended the Football Association's (FA) decision to grant him the chance of a farewell outing for England, saying he turned down the chance to do so before the World Cup to ensure the timing was right.
Rooney, England's former captain and all-time leading goalscorer, is due to come on in the second half of Thursday's friendly match with the United States at Wembley to win his 120th and final cap.
