Ryan Giggs believes Manchester United teammate Wayne Rooney can fire England to World Cup glory.
Giggs reckons England's hopes of lifting the World Cup in South Africa lie at Rooney's feet.
He said: "England have got some genuinely world-class players in Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Rio Ferdinand.
"However I believe that if Rooney plays well, then England will win the majority of their games."
Giggs claimed Rooney's presence in the team made life simpler for those around him, adding: "He shows me where to put the ball rather than the other way around.
"He's got unbelievable physical attributes - he's strong, he's quick - but he's also a very clever footballer."
