Man Utd's Rooney: No extra pressure returning for England

Manchester United ace Wayne Rooney says he doesn't feel any extra pressure to perform for England in his comeback game against Ukraine tomorrow night.

With Rooney's team-mates having already secured four points in his absence, expectations will be raised that the Manchester United star could lead his country to something better than a quarter-final berth.

But he said on Sunday afternoon: "I don't put that pressure on myself, to be honest.

"There are 23 players in the squad and there's pressure on us all.

"It's great that we've scored a few goals and we've put the points on the board.

"I'm not going to win the Euros on my own.

"There are 23 players who are going to contribute to try to help us win the tournament or go as far as we can."
