Wayne Rooney has revealed he "couldn't be happier" for Harry Maguire and praised his redemption from "meme" to "incredible".

Speaking on The Wayne Rooney Show on Monday (20 October), he said: "He was a meme – people laughing at him. This guy's been incredible for England, really good for Man United. It's completely unfair – it was bullying."
