Rooney’s performances for both the Red Devils and his country have drawn criticism from fans, who claim the 30-year-old is merely slowing down the pace of games rather than playing quickly and decisively.

“England’s highest record goalscorer in the history of our game. Soon to be the most capped player our great country has ever produced. One of the very best players I have seen and had the pleasure playing with in my lifetime and a man who has given everything for England,” Terry said.
