Manchester United ace Wayne Rooney has put his hand up for the England captaincy.

Rooney would not reject the chance, and also believes Steven Gerrard would be a good choice to lead England into this summer's European Championships.

The Manchester United striker, who scored two goals in Saturday's 2-1 Barclays Premier League defeat of Liverpool, tonight tweeted: "For everyone asking i would love to be england captain. But thats upto new manager to decide. Gerrard is perfect choice for me."
