England striker Wayne Rooney has revealed that he is content to play in any role for the Three Lions as long as he is in the starting lineup.
The 28-year-old has been used in variety of positions in the build-up to the World Cup, including on the left wing, where he featured in the 2-2 draw with Ecuador, getting on the scoresheet in the process.
Rooney told The People: "I am not going to stop playing for England because I was moved out to the left, am I? I'm happy to play wherever I am needed – even in goal.
"I have played out on the left quite a lot in my career. I've played out on the right as well, but probably more on the left. The manager has asked me to play there and I have no problem doing it."
England face Italy in their World Cup opener next Saturday.
