Newly appointed Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has hailed club captain Wayne Rooney ahead of the striker’s testimonial match announcement.
Everton and Man United, the only two clubs Rooney has played for in his club career, will go head-to-head to celebrate the Englishman’s 12 years at Old Trafford since his £27 million move from the Merseyside club back in 2004.
The testimonial match, which will be played on August 3, will mark the start of a year of fundraising events by the Red Devils and England skipper’s foundation which is aiming to raise £5 million for disadvantaged and vulnerable children.
