Wayne Rooney is set to come out of international retirement for England's friendly against the United States later this month to mark his contribution to the national team.
It is reported that Rooney, England and Manchester United's record goalscorer, will make a one-off appearance for Gareth Southgate's Three Lions on November 15.
The 33-year-old, who now plays for MLS side DC United, has not played for England in almost two years.
Rooney's appearance at Wembley a week on Thursday is set to be his 120th in an England shirt.
The former United and Everton forward, who scored 53 goals for the Three Lions, announced his retirement from international football in August 2017.
Rooney has scored 12 goals for DC United since he joined the MLS side from Everton in June.

Rooney made his debut for England as a 17-year-old against Australia in 2003 before netting his first international goal against Macedonia in September of that year.
He then starred in England's run to the quarter-finals in Euro 2004 - one of six major international tournaments he would feature in - and captained the Three Lions on 22 occasions. But he scored only once in three World Cups.
Rooney's last international appearance for England was in their 3-0 World Cup qualifying win against Scotland at Wembley on November 11, 2016.
Rooney is set to follow in the footsteps of Lukas Podolski whose international career was celebrated by Germany when he came out of retirement for one final game.
The former Arsenal and Bayern Munich striker scored and captained Germany in their 1-0 win against England in March 2017.
The Football Association later confirmed that Rooney would be named in Southgate's squad to face the US, and that the match's official title would be the Wayne Rooney Foundation International.
Rooney said: "I am truly humbled and hugely excited to play for England at Wembley again. I would like to thank Gareth Southgate and the FA for inviting me back and helping to support my foundation in the process."
