Wayne Rooney
is set to come out of international retirement to make a farewell appearance
for England against the United States later this month.
The
33-year-old - England's record goalscorer with 53 - has not played for the
Three Lions since a 3-0 victory over Scotland in November 2016.
But Rooney,
who plays for DC United, is expected to earn his 120th cap in the friendly at
Wembley on 15 November.
The game
will raise funds for the Wayne Rooney Foundation.
The Wembley
Arch will be lit up in the gold colours of Rooney's charity.
After moving
to the United States in July, Rooney scored 12 goals to guide DC United from
the bottom of the Major League Soccer table into the play-offs.
But the
former Manchester United and Everton forward missed a penalty in a shootout as
his side were knocked out in the first round.
