Wayne Rooney: 'Our England squad can match anyone at Euro 2016'

Wayne Rooney believes that England have a good enough squad to challenge the best teams at Euro 2016.

Manchester United and England captain Wayne Rooney is confident that Roy Hodgson's squad is good enough to go all the way at Euro 2016.

Hodgson named his 26-man provisional squad for the tournament yesterday.

The setup is full of young players, one of whom is Rooney's 18-year-old club teammate Marcus Rashford, who could end up being one of three cut before the final squad is confirmed.

"I feel we've got a very good squad," Rooney told Sky Sports News. "It's probably the first time I've felt the squad is capable in any given game of matching any team, but obviously it's one thing having that, and another being able to do that consistently throughout a tournament.

"We've got players who can play anywhere across that front line. Myself, Jamie Vardy, Raheem Sterling, Daniel Sturridge can play out wide too. It's always difficult for opponents as well.

"You never know with the players we've got how well they can do. We've had a good European qualifiers campaign, but we need to make sure that we don't slack, that we keep going and keep pushing forward, and give ourselves every possible chance."

England head into the tournament on the back of a 100% qualifying record.
