Wayne Rooney delivers exciting Brennan Johnson verdict on eve of World Cup debut

Former Derby County boss Wayne Rooney has tipped Nottingham Forest's Brennan Johnson to make an impact on the upcoming FIFA World Cup with Wales.

Johnson netted twice against Rooney and the Reds' arch rivals on the way to promotion last season, first in a 1-1 draw at Pride Park before scoring the second goal in January's 2-1 win.

The 22-year-old heads to Qatar having been a regular in the first half of Forest's Premier League campaign. His adaption to top-flight football is mirrored by Steve Cooper's side, who now find themselves just one point away from safety.
