Wayne Rooney: 'I will be my own captain'

Wayne Rooney insists that he will try to be himself in his new role as England captain.

Wayne Rooney has insisted that he will try to put his own stamp on his new role as England captain.

The striker will skipper his country for the first time on Wednesday night when the Three Lions welcome Norway to Wembley Stadium for a friendly.

Despite questions over whether the added responsibility of being captain will affect his form, Rooney claims that he will continue to give his all for England.

"I will be myself in the captain's role. I am always very demanding of myself in what I expect. Playing for your country, every player has to give their all," he is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.

"I have worked under some fantastic captains in the past and I've watched how they have adapted to the role. I'll try and take the qualities they have and add my own ingredients in."

Rooney has scored 40 goals in 95 appearances for England.
