Wayne Rooney is excited for England’s future under Gareth Southgate – but insists other former internationals are not so forthcoming in their support of the current squad.
“I know there are some ex-players who I’ve spoken to who can’t come to terms with England doing well,” Rooney said.
“That is wrong. I’m not like that. I’m a fan now. I want England to do well. I am proud to have played for England so many times and I always have been. “I’ve had my time.
I am happy with what I’ve contributed to the national team and I look forward now to the next few years and watching this team progress.”
