Moyes claims Rooney will not be satisfied until skipper sets new England records

Former Manchester United football team manager David Moyes has claimed that England captain Wayne Rooney, who would bask in the glory of his 100th cap this week, would not be satisfied until he has rewritten the record books.

Moyes, who gave Rooney his Everton debut at the age of 16 and managed him again at United, has revealed an intriguing insight into what makes Rooney tick.

Rooney would become only the ninth England player to land a ton of caps when he leads England into a Euro 2016 qualifier against Slovenia at Wembley on Saturday, The Mirror reported.

Moyes said that it would be an emotional moment, but also reckons Rooney won't rest until he has smashed both Peter Shilton's record of 125 appearances and Sir Bobby Charlton's 49-goal standard.

He said that there would be no prouder man in the country than Rooney on Saturday, before admitting that it would be a massive day for the skipper and his family because the Rooneys have always been big England fans, who take a lot of satisfaction from seeing him playing for his country.

The Scot claimed that that 100th cap would be one of the highlights of a career that has seen Rooney win everything, but added that knowing the skipper like he does, the United forward won't be satisfied with that.

Moyes revealed that Rooney won't just stop after winning 100 caps or breaking Charlton's goals record, adding that the skipper would want to play for England more times than anyone else and he would want to set a goals record that would last as long as Charlton's has.

Moyes also said that Rooney already deserves to be remembered as one of England's greatest players.
