Here, Press Association Sport's Tom White reviews Rooney's international career in numbers.
119 - Appearances for England, the most by an outfield player and only six shy of goalkeeper Peter Shilton's all-time record.
71 - England wins in which Rooney appeared, with 29 draws and 19 defeats.
53 - Rooney's England-record goal haul.
7 - Only seven of his goals have come at the final stages of international tournaments, four of them as an 18-year-old at Euro 2004.
1 - He has scored only once at a World Cup, against Uruguay in 2014.
6 - Rooney has played in six major tournaments, with England missing Euro 2008.
22 - He has led England out as captain 22 times, as well as seven other occasions when he has worn the armband for part of a game.
17 - Rooney made his international debut as a substitute in a friendly against Australia in February 2003 aged 17 years and 111 days - an England record at the time, since surpassed by Theo Walcott.
45 - Sir Bobby Charlton held the England scoring record for 45 years before Rooney reached his half-century in 2015.
6 - Rooney played under half a dozen England managers - Sven-Goran Eriksson, Steve McClaren, Fabio Capello, Roy Hodgson, Sam Allardyce and Gareth Southgate.
