Beckham backs Rooney

David Beckham supports his ex-team-mate and tells him not to stop. The 41-year-old wants Rooney to keep playing for the national team since he is doing a good job. The 30-year-old will make this Sunday his 116th appearance for his country and is about to break Beckham's record.

Beckham shared this message and a picture of both on Instagram:

"So tonight Wayne becomes England's most capped outfield player .. I keep listening to people say Wayne should stop playing for his country to prolong his club career .. Wayne should retire from playing for his country... Seriously .. As a player you retire when you're ready.. Representing you're country is the highest level you can reach as a professional player , walking out in an England shirt at Wembley is one of the greatest feelings as a player you can ever have... Don't let anyone take that away from you .. Every kid around the world that loves this game dreams of walking out in the national team colours and representing the country they love .. Continue till you can't give anymore .. Congratulations mate".
