Manchester United icon, Wayne Rooney, has recently shared his ideal starting eleven for England’s upcoming Euro 2024 clash against Serbia this Sunday in an exclusive reveal.

Rooney, a true football maestro, surprised fans by omitting Chelsea’s Cole Palmer and Conor Gallagher, as well as Liverpool’s talented Trent Alexander-Arnold from his lineup for the crucial match.

During an interview on the popular show ‘The Overlap’, the seasoned footballer declared his faith in Jordan Pickford as the first-choice goalkeeper, highlighting the Everton shot-stopper’s vital role akin to the prolific striker Harry Kane, whom he handpicked to spearhead the offensive strategies.
