Erling Haaland sends message to Wayne Rooney after Norway jibe

Erling Haaland has delivered a message to Wayne Rooney after the England legend took a pop at Norway.

Last week, the former footballer said that he would row - the Norway fans’ famous celebration - down the River Mersey if the Scandinavian team made it to the quarter-finals.

Haaland, whose two goals against Brazil saw Norway progress, said that he is looking forward to seeing Rooney embark on his journey.

“That's all I want to see now. Wayne Rooney, I expect you to go out on a rowing trip,” said Haaland, speaking ahead of Saturday’s (11 July) quarter-final against England.
