Wayne Rooney has called on England’s stars to stick together as they get back to work following Sam Allardyce’s shock departure.
Allardyce was forced to resign as
England manager after just 67 days and one game in charge following his
controversial comments to undercover newspaper reporters investigating
football corruption.
Gareth Southgate will server as
England’s interim boss for the next four matches and one of his first
decisions was to retain Manchester United striker Rooney as his captain.
Rooney is set to lead England in
Saturday’s World Cup qualifier against Malta at Wembley and the
30-year-old is eager to focus on football after a difficult period for
the national side.
