The 25-year-old insists that he believes that he is now ready for the job. Rooney captained England against Brazil, but is now keen to take the job on a permanent basis.
“Yeah, I think that would be a great honour,” said Rooney.
“I’ve captained both on one-off occasions, but obviously to get the two jobs full-time would be a great honour for me.”
“When we play away from home, the other team are playing in front of their fans urging them to go forward,” he added.
“Then the game becomes a bit open and I think that’s when we are at our best, so that’s why we do so well away from home.
“At Wembley, teams sit back and get 11 men behind the ball. Sometimes it becomes hard to break them down, so you need to be a bit more patient.
“A 1-0 win might be what you need. If we win 1-0 that’s a great result.”
