Wayne Rooney says he believes he will be able to represent England at the 2018 World Cup despite the fact he will then be 32.

England are in the running to host the 2018 showpiece, and the 22-year-old Manchester United ace says his career desire is to play and lift the trophy in his homeland.

"It's possible I could still be playing for England then," Rooney told the Daily Star. "Hopefully I can still be playing for my country and it will be even better if we do well in it.

"As a footballer you want to be remembered as a winner. Hopefully before I retire I can say I've won something with England."

What I love about this story is that Rooney could still be banging them in for United in the 2017/2018 season. That just seems unreal to me at this moment in time. What a thought that is. He could be smashing goal records left, right and centre unless Ronnie sticks arouns ;-)

At this moment in time both Rooney and Ronaldo have scored 66 goals each for the club.

'66 WAS A GREAT YEAR FOR ENGLISH FOOTBALL. ERIC WAS BORN
