Wayne Rooney may make a comeback for England

Wayne Rooney is set to come out of international retirement for England's friendly against the United States later this month to mark his contribution to the national team.

The Football Association announced Rooney - who is England and Manchester United's record goalscorer - would be part of Gareth Southgate's squad for the match on 15 November.

The 33-year-old, now playing in Major League Soccer with DC United, has not played for England in almost two years, but the match at Wembley a week on Thursday is set to be his 120th and final senior appearance in an England shirt.

The match against the United States will officially be called the Wayne Rooney Foundation International, and will provide England supporters with the chance to give the country's all-time leading scorer a proper send-off.
