Wayne Rooney says he will never retire from England duty

England captain Wayne Rooney, who aims to become his country's leading scorer on Tuesday, says he will never retire from international football.

Rooney could get his 50th England goal in the home Euro 2016 qualifier against Switzerland, surpassing the record he shares with Sir Bobby Charlton.

With qualification assured, the 29-year-old is set to appear at his sixth major tournament - and plans more.
"I won't be one to say I'm not available for selection," he said.
"I'm sure it'll probably be the manager's choice more than mine. It's a huge honour to play for England."
The Manchester United striker equalled the England scoring record with his 49th international goal in the 6-0 win in San Marino on Saturday, which guaranteed their place in France next year.
But Rooney sees no reason why he cannot continue playing for the national team beyond the World Cup in Russia in 2018.
"I feel I'm capable of going to Russia," he added. "After that, it may be a realistic time to see how I feel and if I feel it's not right for England or myself, I'll have a decision to make.
"If I feel I can carry on, I'll try. But if the manager says he doesn't feel I'm in his plans for the next tournament, it's probably better I don't play in the qualifying games because I won't be going to the tournament."

Rooney regrets Las Vegas holiday

Rooney wants his England team-mates to learn from his mistake prior to Euro 2012, when he went on a family holiday to Las Vegas.
He believes players would benefit from staying at home before the tournament in France starts next June.
Rooney who was suspended for the first two games of Euro 2012, said: "I went on holiday, which I regret.
"I thought it was no problem and now I know I shouldn't have done it."
