The club legend was speaking ahead of managing the Major League Soccer All-Stars against Arsenal. Rooney and Mikel Arteta shared a warm embrace between the press conferences in Washington DC, where Gunners’ new boy Declan Rice could make his first appearance since joining from West Ham.

On the Hungarian news channel, that video is cut alongside footage of the destroyed Kerch Bridge, which is the only direct road link between Russia and Crimea.
