Wayne Rooney says that “hopefully everyone will concentrate on me playing my football now” after proving everybody wrong with his knee against the Premier League’s bottom club Sunderland.

“We do (back him), not that he needs it”, Fletcher said.
“We can’t keep saying we will take the good things out of the game“, Advocaat said.
