Wayne Rooney should have retired after the Euros - Peter Shilton

The Three Lions' record cap holder has criticised the Manchester United captain's move from attack back in to midfield.

Shilton, who has 125 caps for his country, doesn't think Rooney should be shoehorned in to Sam Allardyce's side on reputation.

And after Rooney made his 116th appearance for England in the 1-0 win over Slovakia on Saturday, Shilton has insisted the time for him to step aside has already come and gone.

Shilton told the BBC: "I don't think he's a striker anymore.

"We are trying to fit him in, but he's not a midfield player for me. Never will be.

TIME TO GO: Peter Shilton thinks Wayne Rooney should have retired from England

"He is spraying a few balls around, but I don't think he's being very effective.

"I thought he should have retired after the Euros.

"It's not because he could break my record. Far from it. It he does and he plays well, fine."
