Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney has expressed his excitement over his return the role as a central striker next season.
The 29-year-old spent part of the last campaign playing behind the frontman and also in the centre of midfield, which prevented him from finding the net with regularity in a season that yielded just 14 goals.
With the exit of Robin van Persie and Radamel Falcao, Rooney will move back into his striking role where he is hopeful that he can notch over 20 goals in the next campaign.
"It's where I like and I'm sure it's where I will play. It's obviously on me to score goals. It's where the manager and myself see my best position. Hopefully I can get a good run of games and repay the manager and score goals for the team.
"I've played different roles over the years for United but you only have to look when I play for England as a striker I score goals. I hope to score 20 or more goals again. If I'm playing as a striker, then I will be disappointed if I can't do that again.
"I'm excited about the season. It's a big season for us. We have the quality to make sure we get back into the Champions League."
