Wayne Rooney: Gareth Southgate has revealed his thoughts on Wazza's recallThe Three Lions manager decided last week that Wayne Rooney would return for a one-off friendly appearance against USA on Thursday. The cap will be Rooney’s 120th in England threads, and is a tribute to his international career. Last playing for his country in 2016, the 33-year-old retired from international football in 2017 as England’s top goalscorer. England manager Gareth Southgate has hit back at critics, however, saying: “If anybody deserves one more cap, it is somebody who had 119, more than somebody that has had one or a handful. Southgate believes Rooney still has a lot to offer and relished his presence during the international break.
