Man United Legend Supports Rooney to Play for England National Team

DBasia.news – Pro and cons are accompanying Wayne Rooney’s returning rumor to England national team. Some agree some others refused. Rooney’s former teammate in Manchester United, Ryan Giggs, assumes there’s nothing wrong for Rooney to defend The Three Lions.

Rooney will return and play for England national team after a two-year absence. He will be called up for the friendly match against the US on November 15, 2018.

Some parties consider that decision as a backward step for England football. They think the match can be used by another player to add the playing minute.

“I understand it. It’s a celebration game against America and I’m all for it. In football, and in the sport in general, people are not recognized or recognized too late. This is a chance for not only a great player, but an iconic player and top goalscorer,” Giggs told Sky Sports.

“He’s gone ahead of Gary Lineker and Bobby Charlton, over 50 goals. It gives him a chance to thank the fans for all the support, and the fans to thank him for all the work he’s done over the years.”

Rooney’s call-up related closely to his impressive performance with DC United in Major League Soccer. The former Man United player scored 12 goals in 20 matches.

“I understand people have got different opinions but, from knowing Wayne and what he’s done for England, I don’t see any problem with it,” Giggs said.

“He’s a footballer who’ll want to play for as long as he can, I know that. But whether the body can take it up to 40 we’ll have to wait and see,” Giggs concluded.
