Walcott keen to continue fine form with England

Rashford was recently included in interim England manager Gareth Southgate's squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Malta on Saturday and Slovenia next Tuesday.

Allardyce, who lasted 67 days in English football's top job, had claimed after the 1-0 victory in Trnava, his only game in charge, that Rooney "played where he wanted".

England won their opening World Cup 2018 qualifier 1-0 thanks to an injury-time victor from Liverpool's Adam Lallana.

"It was a bit of misunderstanding after the last game, when Sam came out and said I play where I want", Rooney said at a prematch news conference ahead of Saturday's World Cup qualifier against Malta.

"I'm sure the instructions from Gareth, whether it's to play or not to play, are instructions I will carry out to the best of my ability".

"It was a decision for the Football Association to take".

"As a group we need to stick together and concentrate on the football and I am sure there will be no problem doing that".

"I want us to be courageous with the ball".

"But since then I have made a few big errors, basic errors".

"I don't want this time to stop", said Walcott, who has scored in three of his past four Gunners appearances.

"We have to buy into his ways and take his ideas on board and put them on the pitch".

Rooney played in Roy Hodgson's midfield at Euro 2016 having ended Manchester United's campaign there, only for Jose Mourinho's appointment to see him shift back to a more attacking position.

"We will have more of the ball against Malta so I expect us to control the game". He knew had made a mistake, but that's part of being involved at this level.

"It's disappointing to lose the manager but we have to move on", said the former Bolton and Aston Villa centre-back.

"You do the things that get you to play for England in the first place. He understood that quite early, but unfortunately he doesn't have the chance to rectify that now".

"I have heard a lot of people talking about transition - well, let me do it", he said. "I honestly am enjoying playing for my club and coming here and playing games and getting caps - it's all that an England player wants, to play for their country". I've set myself standards this year which I don't want to drop and I won't drop them cos that's just the frame of mind I'm in'.

Rejecting the theory he has burned out but conceding he has lost some of his pace, the 30-year-old feels his footballing intelligence will allow him to dictate games in midfield "to a very high standard" for years to come.
