Wayne Rooney wants to feature against Sweden

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has no intention of ducking England's next friendly and is determined to get back to his best quickly.

Rooney struck in England's 1-1 World Cup qualifying draw in Poland on Wednesday but accepted he was below par after being substituted in the second half.

The 26-year-old has now returned to United to prepare for tomorrow's Premier League clash against Stoke, but already has his eye on next month's England friendly in Sweden.

Rooney said: "You want to play. I want to play all the games if possible and hopefully I can stay in good form for Man United and the manager will pick me."

The midweek friendly in Stockholm on November 14 is slotted between Premier League fixtures but Rooney is not concerned about any disruption.

He said: "We have done it for so many years, playing Saturday-Wednesday, Saturday-Tuesday at club level. A game for your country is not something you don't want to do."
