Wayne Rooney has called for Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp to be named the new England manager.

Fabio Capello quit after a meeting with the FA at Wembley on Wednesday.

And Rooney took to Twitter to add his voice to the growing clamour for Redknapp to be installed as the Italian's replacement.

One man for the job: Wayne Rooney wants Harry Redknapp for England

The Manchester United striker said: 'Gutted capello has quit. Good guy and top coach. Got to be english to replace him. Harry redknapp for me.'

But former Old Trafford captain Roy Keane claimed it wasn't Rooney's place to say who he wanted to take over.

'Wayne should keep his nose out of it. He didn't do enough on the pitch when Capello was manager,' he said.

'Wayne should concentrate on being a player and not on who he wants as England manager.'

Keane also admitted he was surprised at the speed of Capello's resignation.

'Clearly the interview to the Italian broadcaster over the weekend has compelled it to come to this. I didn't expect this to happen so quickly.

'Harry Redknapp will be the clear favourite to get the job and I'm sure he'll be the fans' favourite.'

Meanwhile, Jack Wilshere admitted his shock at Capello's resignation as England manager.
