Man Utd forward Rooney determined to win England trophy

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is determined to help England win a major trophy. "We want to try and do what no team has done since 1966 and win a major trophy," the Manchester United striker told the Football Association's website.

"That's the aim for us all and that's what we hope we can do."

"We want to try and do what no team has done since 1966 and win a major trophy. That's the aim for us all and that's what we hope we can do."

England qualified for the finals unbeaten after closing home wins over Montenegro and Poland, and that record gives Rooney reason for optimism ahead of what would be his third World Cup.

He added: "It's been a good campaign, the aim was to finish top of the group and that's what we've done.

"We played some good football in some of the games and we dug in in others. Overall we are pleased with the way it went."
