But the Old Trafford hero admits that lifting the
trophy in South Africa would be an "unbelievable feeling."
Rooney has won three Premier League titles, two League
Cups and a Champions League winners medal in five years at
United.
And he said: "Winning those trophies has involved so
much hard work from me and my team-mates.
"So I would never give them away for anything. But to
win a World Cup would be an unbelievable feeling."
Rooney starred at Euro 2004 and the 2006 World Cup so
he has an idea about what it takes to lift a trophy on the
international stage.
He feels the Three Lions have the quality in their
squad - but also need a bit of luck.
He said: "Anything can happen in a tournament. You
could be flying in all of the games then out of the competition in
the next.
"We have to make sure we get it right and go further
than in previous years."
Rooney, 24, has also been impressed by the way Fabio
Capello picked up the pieces after Steve McClaren's disastrous
reign.
He added: "Capello's a great manager. On the training
pitch, if he sees anything, instead of carrying on the session, he
will stop it.
"He will go over it time and time again until he gets
the small details right.
"When you get the small details right, then everything
else is right."
