England Captain Wayne Rooney is managing both the on-field and off-the-field duties on the same scale as FootTheball sources confirm that the Manchester United star has instructed his fellow teammates and their partners to keep a low profile during the on-going Euro 2016 Championship.
During the build up to England’s last-16 encounter against the dark horses Iceland, Wayne Rooney has advised the youngsters and their partners to avoid the spotlight during the competition.
FootTheBall understands that Rooney along with the other senior members in the squad has held talks with the Leicester star Jamie Vardy about his wife Rebekah ruling the headlines during the recent fan violence in France.
Rooney is the oldest member in the squad who also represented his country in England’s World Cup 2006 campaign when Rio Ferdinand had labelled the attending Wags as a ‘’Circus’’. Rooney has thus strictly reminded the players of the significance of keeping their feet grounded and to stay away from the limelight.

That has to be up there with the worst experience EVER at an away game! Teargassed for no reason, caged and treated like animals! Shocking!
