Former Manchester United manager David Moyes believes that Wayne Rooney can extend his playing career by becoming a midfielder in the future.
The 29-year-old made several appearances in the middle of the park for United last season and despite saying he is England's best striker, Moyes believes he could play as a central midfielder after his 'legs run out a bit.'
The Scotsman told BBC Radio 5 Live's Sportsweek: "I think while he is probably England's best striker at the moment, he has to continue playing as a striker and scoring goals.
"But I could genuinely see Wayne being a midfield player for a year or two after that - I think he has got that ability when his legs run out a bit.
"He is such a good footballer and passer of the ball that he could play in other positions and it could be that he steps back [positionally] in time."
Rooney equaled Sir Bobby Charlton's all-time goalscoring record for England yesterday after scoring a penalty against San Marino.
