Rooney wants Man Utd captaincy post.

Wayne Rooney wants to be Manchester United captain.

Man Utd attacking foward Wayne Rooney is hoping to be given the captaincy role on a more permanent basis.

  In a statement, he said:"Of course i would like the captaincy but its the manager's decision who he chooses.

"I think he wants to work with the players and then choose a captain from there.

"I don't think he was ever going to just walk in and choose a player from the off.I am sure he will look at the players now and make his decision in a couple of weeks".

  The England international scored twice in the 7-0 demolition of LA Galaxy.

Rooney might be a good person for the post, but other players that might compete  with the attacking foward, for the captaincy post are Darren Fletcher and Robin Van Persie.
