Wayne Rooney has insisted that he will not retire from international football after England's "embarrassing" exit from Euro 2016.
The Three Lions captain and his teammates were roundly criticised for their performances in Monday night's 2-1 defeat to Iceland in the last-16 stage of the tournament.
Rooney scored a fourth-minute penalty, but England soon crumbled as Iceland, who have a population of just over 300,000, outplayed their opponents to inflict one of the most humiliating defeats in the nation's history.
In the hour that followed the match, manager Roy Hodgson announced his resignation, but Rooney has no plans to follow his coach.
When asked by PA if he intends to continue his England career, Rooney said: "Of course. I said before the tournament and I've been asked many times but I'm proud to play for England and I'll see who the next manager is and, if selected, I'm available to play.
"It is hard to see it now but the future is bright. It will take a bit of time I'm sure but we have to try to dust it off as quick as we can and try to move on.
"It is a hard one to take, it is embarrassing. We know we are a better team, but you can't explain it by saying we could have done this or that. We tried to create chances, but unfortunately we couldn't win. Whoever the new manager is, it is the job for him to recognise and try to see where we need to improve."
England have won just a single game in their last two major tournaments.
