England captain Wayne Rooney turns 30 this weekend, but says he has no plans to slow down just yet.
The Manchester United forward celebrates the landmark birthday on Saturday, the day before he leads his club into their local derby with Manchester City.
Rooney enters his fourth decade on the back of recently becoming England’s all-time top scorer as well as helping United into a promising position in the Premier League.

But he insists he still feels as lively as when he first broke onto the scene as a fresh-faced 16-year-old with Everton in 2002.
"I physically feel good," revealed Rooney ahead of United’s Champions League trip to CSKA Moscow on Wednesday night.
"Obviously it's a big birthday in anyone's life, your 30th birthday.
"But in terms of me and football I still feel I am still young enough, and that I have a lot of years ahead of me."
With 107 caps for England and over 400 appearances at club level to his name, Rooney says he feels in good shape for the future.
And with the advanced physical and medical treatments now available for players, the Liverpool-born star is eyeing a few more years at the top.

"I have had no major muscle injuries," he added.
"And I think, with all the support we get, it's still a fairly young age and hopefully I have got a lot of years to come."
Rooney and England begin their preparations for next summer’s Euro Finals with games against current European champions Spain in Alicante on Friday 13 November.
Their next home game comes four days later at Wembley Stadium against the Euro 2016 hosts, France.
The game against Les Bleus on Tuesday 17 November is also a Breast Cancer Care International, supporting The FA's official charity partner.
