England coach Gareth Southgate will tap into Wayne Rooney's leadership for tonight's farewell international against the USA.

In the England dressing-room, Rooney, now of DC United, will hand the debutants - Callum Wilson, Lewis Dunk and Alex McCarthy - their jerseys and address them on their special day.

Southgate said: “We will have some debuts and he is going to present the shirts and I have asked him to talk to the guys about a couple of areas in particular.

“We've done that for the last 18 months. Glenn Hoddle did Michael Keane. Ian Wright did Ruben (Loftus-Cheek) and Tammy (Abrahams). Paul Parker came in. Lee Dixon did (Kieran) Trippier — one Burnley full-back to another. It's an important moment.

“It's a big moment in a player's life. It is the crest on the front that's the important thing, not the name on the back."
