Wayne Rooney is set to come out of international retirement to make a farewell appearance for England against the United States next month.


The 33-year-old - England's record goalscorer with 53 - has not played for the Three Lions since a 3-0 victory over Scotland in November 2016.

But Rooney, who plays for DC United, is expected to earn his 120th cap in the friendly at Wembley on 15 November.

The game will raise funds for the Wayne Rooney Foundation.

The Wembley Arch will be lit up in the gold colours of Rooney's charity.
