5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Pat Nevin says that elite level football should be 'heartless' and many would drop Wayne Rooney on his current form. Nevin said: "I don't know many people that look at Wayne Rooney at the moment and think 'you're playing well enough to be in that starting line-up' "I think he's a fabulous player, he's been a fabulous player, but at the moment you have to be heartless." Rooney captained England to a 2-0 victory over Malta at Wembley. The match was the first under interim manager Gareth Southgate. This clip is from 5 live Sport on 9th October 2016
