Everton skipper Phil Jagielka has backed Wayne Rooney for the England captaincy.
Rooney was named new club captain of Manchester United this week.
"It looks like Wayne's going to be the main candidate for it, so I don't see why not," said Jagielka at the official Barclays Premier League launch.
"If you look at the way he's matured over the last few years, obviously there's games where he probably does get a little too heated up, but that's what we love about the way he plays - his passion.
"And I'm sure the England fans would love that as well.
"I think it's definitely a good decision for Manchester United to make him captain and I think the way he's progressed over the last few years, settling down with a family and all sorts, I think he'd be a great choice as England captain."
