Wayne Rooney gives his opinion on Memphis Depay, Daley Blind

Speaking about Memphis Depay, Wayne Rooney, who has been out of action since his injury in February

told ITV, “He (Depay) will be pleased to start. He’s had a stop-start season for Manchester United. This is a chance to show the quality he’s got.”

When asked about Daley Blind, another Manchester United teammate of his, the England international said, “He’s a very good reader of the game. He will be the first to tell you he’s not the quickest, but his reading of the game makes up for that.”

“He’s excellent with the ball,” Rooney added.

Blind arrived at Old Trafford in 2014 from the Dutch giants Ajax. The Manchester club shelled out a transfer fee of 13.8 million pounds for the 26-year-old central defensive midfielder who was named the Dutch Footballer of the Year back in 2013-14.

Since his arrival in England, Blind has started in 50 league games for the Red Devils and has found the back of the net thrice.

Meanwhile, the Three Lions slumped to a defeat at the hands of Holland despite leading 1-0 at half-time. Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy had put England in front in the 41st minute of the game. However, Vincent Janssen and Luciano Narsingh scored the goals for the Oranje to hand them a memorable victory.
