England football star Wayne Rooney has promised his shirt from the win over Scotland to a terminally ill boy at the centre of a social media campaign.    

Kasabian Newton‑Smith, eight, from Sheffield, was diagnosed with cancer as a toddler and has two brain tumours.

Manchester United forward Rooney says he just want to say a massive thank you for your support and I've kept my shirt from Saturday night's game against Scotland ‑ so will send it down to you.

"I hope you enjoy it, and hopefully it makes you smile."

The campaign, organised by Grassroots Football, appealed to the entire footballing world to join together and send "Kasabian 1 last smile".

Manchester United will take on Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday at 1.30am.
