The Manchester United forward has waived reports saying that he can lead England to glory this summer all on his own.
After being forced to watch his beloved country slug out against the best of the continent from the stands, the talented attacker will be raring to go as the Three Lions take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032 in their last group game.
Devoid of some key names, hardly anyone fancied England going all the way in the tournament. But now with two superb performances under their belt, opinions regarding the hugely under-achieving side have changed.
Roy Hodgson unsurprisingly opted for a defensive approach against a much superior French line-up and it paid lucrative dividends with his players coming out with a point despite a wary ninety minutes.

However the pressure will now be on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 set-up.
Coming on the back of his most prolific season to date, expectations are high but the United striker has played down claims that he will be the man to salvage some long lost pride for his nation.
Speaking to reporters, Rooney said that he wasn’t alone in the quest for supremacy and that a win would only be possible if the whole team worked together.
“I don’t put that pressure on myself, to be honest. There are 23 players in the squad and there’s pressure on us all. It’s great that we’ve scored a few goals and we’ve put the points on the board. I’m not going to win the Euros on my own.”
“There are 23 players who are going to contribute to try to help us win the tournament or go as far as we can,” he said.
England need a draw to secure their progression to the quarter-finals, although they face a tough task against the Ukrainians, whom they play at the impressive Donbass Arena tomorrow.
