It is understood Wayne Rooney will start on the bench in his final game for England when the side play against the United States.

England’s all-time highest goal scorer will be used as a second-half substitute to make his farewell appearance.

Rooney, who now plays in the US for DC United, has scored 53 goals in 119 appearances and last played for England against Scotland in November 2016.

The game, on 15 November, is now called 'The Wayne Rooney Foundation international' to honour the striker and his charity.
