A man who has graced many Three Lions squads alongside the Manchester United legend believes he is deserving of a special outing against America
Wayne Rooney is a “special player”, says Jermain Defoe, with the Manchester United legend deserving of one last outing for England.
The Football Association’s decision to recall the 33-year-old D.C. United forward to the Three Lions fold for a friendly clash with the United States has received a mixed response.
Former internationals such as Peter Shilton and Alan Shearer have questioned the call, with the latter suggesting that Rooney is being granted “a testimonial” in which to earn a 120th cap.
