Rooney vows to be always available for England duty

Reuters: Captain Wayne Rooney has promised to always make himself available for England as the striker stands on the verge of becoming the country’s all-time leading goal-scorer.

With England having already secured qualification for Euro 2016 in France, it will be Rooney’s seventh major international tournament for his country and the 29-year-old Manchester United captain has no plans to stop there.

He equalled the goal-scoring record of Bobby Charlton against San Marino on Saturday when he netted his 49th goal for England and is hoping to make the record his own at the Wembley against Switzerland on Tuesday.

Rooney, who scored his first international goal against Macedonia 12 years ago, insists his appetite to represent England remains as strong as ever and he is confident he can continue to lead England till the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
