“I have played there [out wide] quite a lot in my career,” Rooney said. “I have played left and right, more so on the left.

“The manager asked me to play there and I have no problem doing it.

“I’m not going to stop playing for England because I was moved out to the left wing, am I? I’m happy to play for England where I’m needed.”
