Having become well accustomed to the pressures of representing England on the world stage, Rooney has offered words of advice for the current crop.
Prior to landing the Plymouth Argyle job last month, Rooney appeared on EA Sports FC Pro Club Girth N Turf alongside YouTubers Angry Ginge and Yung Filly following his Birmingham axe.
Appearing on The Overlap Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet, the former Manchester United star warned players about their conduct while streaming on international duty.
He said: “It’s the stream that I’ve seen.
“[Jordan]Pickford and [Aaron] Ramsdale were on with some of these streamers last week.
“One wrong word while you’re away with England in that camp. They need to be really careful.
“I did it a few weeks ago with a few lads, was just messing around and thought it was fun but if they’re away with England and they start doing that and say the wrong thing at the wrong time.”
Appearing alongside Rooney, Gary Neville spoke of the effect boredom can have while away with your country.

The former full-back, 49, said: “We’ve got to remember that they are young.
“They’re active, they get bored quickly in a hotel for a month where they can’t go out of the grounds because you’ve got security all around you.

“The card school was back in my day and I thought it had a devastating impact on morale on mindset.
“The lads were just playing all the time, Then now you’re talking about Fifa which is the new collective and it’s just because they’re bored.”
“I’m sure Gareth will be across it but there does need to be some sort of control over it because these things can have a big impact.”
England got their Euro 2024 off to a winning start on Sunday by beating Serbia 1-0 in Gelsenkirchen.
The Three Lions will return to action on Thursday, when they take on Denmark in Frankfurt.
