On July 13, as the Euro Cup final between England and Spain draws near, former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney shared his predictions for the match in an interview with English media. He stated that he believes England will ultimately win 2-1.
Rooney said, “I think England played very well in their last match against the Netherlands, and they deserved the win. The final will be a thrilling game, with many young talents on the pitch. I’m sure it will be an exciting match, with a close scoreline, but I think the England team might just come out on top.”
When discussing Southgate’s potential starting lineup, Rooney added, “I think Gareth will do the same thing (as in the semi-final against the Netherlands), but I think Luke Shaw might start, with the rest of the lineup remaining unchanged.”
