PHIL JAGIELKA has warned Wayne Rooney to expect a hot reception when he returns to Goodison Park with Manchester United on Saturday.

The Everton centre-back lined up alongside Rooney, who has been dogged by allegations about his private life, to help England beat Switzerland 3-1 on Tuesday night in their Euro 2012 qualifier.

However, on Saturday Jagielka will be tasked with containing the former Everton striker and believes there will be no hiding place for the Croxteth-born frontman who left the club back in 2004.

Jagielka said: “It should be amusing. On Merseyside Wayne always gets a little bit of stick and I’ll be giving him a little bit as well if he plays on Saturday.

“I’ve spoken to him about it. All the boys in the England squad know who is playing who.

“It is always interesting playing against people you’ve just been away with in the week. No doubt I’ll give him a bit of banter if he plays.

“There is a good chance he will get slaughtered. He normally gets quite a bit of stick anyway. I can’t see that changing come Saturday.”
