Manchester United legend Bryan Robson was impressed by Wayne Rooney in England's midfield last night.

Robson wrote for The Sun: "Wayne Rooney now finds himself in a wonderful new world.

"And anybody who doubted his ability to transform himself from England's 52-goal record goalscorer to a master in midfield must be feeling a wee bit silly.

"All the talk before England arrived in the Stade Velodrome was about the gamble boss Roy Hodgson was planning.

"By half-time in Marseilles Hodgson — and Rooney — had come up trumps.

"And everybody was singing their praises.

"For there now can be no argument that Hodgson had it spot on in dropping Wayne deeper."
