Wayne Rooney admits that he is delighted to be back playing as a centre-forward and being amongst the goals at Manchester United.

Wayne Rooney has revealed his delight about returning to his role as a central striker at Manchester United.

The 29-year-old has scored four goals in his last five games for the Red Devils after being moved forward from midfield by Louis van Gaal to boost his side's push for the Champions League places.

He told reporters: "When you play as a centre-forward you want to score goals, so I'm pleased I'm doing that. I spoke with the manager and he thought it was better for the team for me to play in midfield. So that's what I did. I played there.

"I'm sure, in other games, he might put me back in midfield but I'm delighted to be playing up front and scoring. It's helping us win football matches.

"Midfield is a role I know I can play, but as a centre-forward your job is to try to score goals. Thankfully, I've gone back up front and I'm doing that."

Rooney will lead England in their Euro 2016 qualifier against Lithuania at Wembley later today.
