As Wayne Rooney stands on the cusp of becoming England’s all-time record goalscorer, it may be a surprise that the Manchester United man’s international career is tinged with some regrets. Speaking ahead of the Three Lions’ clash with Switzerland on Tuesday, the captain revealed he still has hopes of glory at the World Cup in Russia 2018 too.
Rooney helped England cement their place at next summer’s European Championships in France on Saturday, scoring the opening goal in a 6-0 win over San Marino. It’ll be a chance for the skipper to make amends after his preparation for the previous Euros, by his own admission, wasn’t ideal.
