Wayne Rooney wants a central role for Manchester United next season, following the departures of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez.
Rooney remains hopeful manager Sir Alex Ferguson will bring in new players to replace Ronaldo and Tevez.
“We’ve lost two key players and obviously I hope we can get a few players in,” Rooney told The Times.
“Between them Cristiano and Carlos scored a lot of goals for us last season and the season before, but I would like to think I’m capable of filling that gap.
“I’ve said before that, if I can play in my right position, I’m capable of doing that.”
He added: “I want to play in the position where I feel I’m best. A lot of people think I’m best as a centre forward.
“To play in a UEFA Champions League final and to play week in, week out for Manchester United is a privilege and it’s something I’m very lucky to be doing, but I don’t think playing on the wing I can express myself as much as I like to.”
