Wayne Rooney speaks candidly about one England national team player ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Wayne Rooney, England's legendary striker, sent a message to England midfielder Koby Menu wishing him good luck for the 2026 World Cup and advising him to be himself to become one of the tournament's stars.
"Hello Koby, just sending a message to wish you good luck at the World Cup. Just be yourself, and you will be a star there."
"Also, the way you have handled everything this season is a lesson for all young footballers and a great example for both younger and older players."
"And finally, you may not realize it, but since I have two sons in United’s academy, you should know that you are an inspiration to them and the young players there. Keep doing what you do, be yourself. Much love from Rooney."
England will play their opening group stage match of the 2026 World Cup against Croatia on Wednesday, 17 June, at 03:00 GMT+7.
