DANNY WELBECK has hailed his Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney for helping him take his Euro chance.

Welbeck will lead the England line against Sweden tomorrow, boosted by his display in the opening draw with France.

And the striker said: “Wayne’s always there giving me advice on and off the pitch. He talks to me just before games, and at half-time. I’m glad to be around him.

“He lets you know what to do in games, or if he’s seen a weakness in the opposition you can exploit.”

Rooney will miss the Sweden clash through suspension but Welbeck can’t wait until his pal is back for the third game against Ukraine.

He said: “Wayne is itching to get out on the pitch. It’s going to be better for us once he can play against Ukraine.

“I’ve been put in a position now to lead the line for England and it’s not something I’m scared of.

“Playing for United means you’re expected to produce that moment of quality every time and once I get the opportunity I’ll be aiming to stick it away.”
