Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is happy with his role for England - and insists he'll play anywhere for Fabio Capello.

Rooney, relishing his role in the middle supporting Emile Heskey, said: "I'm a lot more on the ball, and it's better to play. But if the manager wants me to play left then I will.

"In the first half I played more towards the left and second half I started playing just off Emile. It was two different roles."

Rooney's performance in the victory over Croatia was arguably his finest for England. He scored in Zagreb, and two against Kazakhstan took his tally to 17 after his first international double for four years.

England players consider Rooney to be too unselfish for his own good, but Rooney insisted: "I wouldn't say my record is too bad - it's just outside one in two. It's not one in four or five.

"I've always said my game is not all about goals and I'm pleased with my record and how I've been playing."

He now wants to score consistently rather than going through goalscoring spurts.

"When I play for United it's always been like that - the goals have all come at once and then a little break," he added.

"I'd like to do it a bit more consistently and keep scoring throughout - but that is just the way it has happened."
