Marcus Rashford: 'Wayne Rooney's England career is far from over'

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has insisted that Wayne Rooney has plenty more to give at international level despite being left out of Gareth Southgate's latest squad.

The 31-year-old was the headline omission from the squad for the upcoming double-header against Scotland and France, having struggled for game time throughout the season with United.

However, his Old Trafford teammate Rashford believes that Rooney still has a big part to play both on and off the field and believes the all-time leading England goalscorer will bounce back.

"Wayne is a massive influence around the whole squad," Rashford told reporters.

"He still has a lot to do in his career. There's still a lot trophies he'll hope to be playing for. Knowing Wayne, it's nowhere near over."

England take on Scotland in a World Cup qualifier on Saturday before facing France in a friendly three days later.
