“It’s not easy to be in top clubs for so many years”.

I definitely think as a player you always have to work hard and show the best of yourself and, yeah, be confident. We are 11 players not two players on the pitch.

Viewers all over the world will be able to catch Wayne Rooney’s testimonial on Facebook.

‘I hope he is going to want to return to United and prove he’s a top-class player.

Rooney’s current team Manchester United will face Everton, his first club, at United’s Old Trafford ground.

So will Rooney’s testimonial get anywhere near that figure?

This particular game will see proceeds for the match shared between four charities that Rooney chose and will kick off at 7:15 BST, or 2:15 ET and will be streamed on the Manchester United Facebook page and Rooney’s page. But nothing was said and just like all the other guys I want to work very hard and get my spot in the team.

And Ibrahimovic added: “I think he’s had a fantastic career”. That was Rooney’s plan last spring and he played in the midfield for England, but that went pretty terribly so maybe Rooney has accepted that he’ll have to stay a forward now.

“When you make the decision to retire, you stop thinking, but once I chose to stay I started thinking again and it was really centred around bringing energy back into the team by looking at young players”. I think he is a flawless example for young players to look at and take after.

Ahead of the fixture, Rooney has been reminiscing about his 12 years at United, and speaking about the players he considers to be the best he’s played alongside and against. The best goalkeeper I’ve come up against is Iker Casillas, he’s won everything you can in the game and is one of the best goalkeepers of all-time.

Reports over the past one month say that a €110-million fee has been agreed with Juventus, the club he joined for free when he left United in 2012.
