"That was early on, and I've seen a few things – the backheel at Chelsea, he played well against Real Madrid. "My worry about Wirtz is when people say things like he has to get used to his teammates, he's played well in Europe, but it's a different game to the Premier League.

"He played well at Frankfurt and against Real Madrid at home, but he's found it really tough in the Premier League. "I like Wirtz coming off the left, how he's done the last couple of games," said Rooney.
