"I felt sad for him but not sad because he is coming on in a cup final," Rooney said on the BBC's Wayne Rooney Show. "There was a game a few days ago when he didn't even get on the pitch. If that was Max Dowman coming on at the end, you would think good experience. But to see Phil Foden coming on in a cup final, it felt like a charity sub to get him on the pitch.”
