Recently, England football legend Rooney said in a program called Overlap that Manchester United youngster Manu could completely replace Arnold in England’s starting lineup, but Manu was very humble and responded to this.
Rooney said: “I’ve seen Arnold play a few games and I don’t think he’s been good enough. His passing is very good, he can also attack from midfield, but I think he should compete with Kyle Walker for the right-back position, his midfield position should be given up, if I had to choose, I would 100% choose Manu to start in midfield.”
“It’s not to say that Arnold can’t play midfield, he’s only recently started playing midfield, and he’s better at passing, in his own position (right-back), I think only Beckham can beat him.”
Manu responded to Rooney’s remarks in an interview, talking about the starting issue, he humbly said: “I’m always ready to play, whether I start or come off the bench. Obviously there are a lot of very good midfielders in the team, like Bellingham, what I need to do now is train hard and be ready to play at any time.”
