Wayne Rooney has claimed that he has "still got a few years left" playing for Manchester United and England.
The 30-year-old, who captains both his club and country, has been out of action since mid-February with a knee injury.
During that time, Anthony Martial and young Marcus Rashford have provided goals for United, while Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane are pushing for England starts in this summer's European Championships in France.
Following the performances of Vardy and Kane during the international break, it has been questioned whether Rooney, who set a new England scoring record last year by netting his 50th, should start for manager Roy Hodgson at the Euros.
However, Rooney has insisted that can still contribute at the highest level.
In an interview with the PFA's 4 The Player magazine, the striker said: "I've still got a few years left, I feel. I'll keep trying to, first and foremost, help the team be successful and if I can score the goals to help achieve that then that'll be great.
"Over the last two years my form for England has been really good, I've scored a lot of goals. The record stood for more than 40 years so to be the one to break it means a lot.
"For Sir Bobby [Charlton] to present me with the award as well, that makes it even more special, but it's something I'm looking to expand now, I've got the record and I just want to carry on scoring as many goals as I can."
Rooney is expected to return to action at some point this month.
