Juan Mata has revealed that Wayne Rooney believes England can win Euro 2016 in France - and he tells him so every day. In an interview with Football Focus, Manchester United's player of the month for March lifted the lid on England captain Rooney's bullish attitude looking ahead to the tournament in June next year. And Mata, who has not played for Spain since their exit from the 2014 World Cup in the group stages in Brazil, admitted England could be a team to look out for. Juan Mata revealed Wayne Rooney regularly tells him England can win Euro 2016 in France . Rooney netted his 47th England goal in the 4-0 victory against Lithuania at Wembley last week . Mata (left) has spoken of his desire to earn a recall to the Spain squad after missing out since the World Cup . 'I think England has that potential,' Mata said. 'You have a lot of good players, talented players already paying in the Premier League for a long time so maybe the next Euros - as Rooney is telling me every day - you will do a great job in France. 'He keeps telling me that, "We can win, we can win, we have a great team, we have a young team, quick team, I'm the captain and we can win!" He has that confidence.' Rooney took his England scoring tally to 47 goals in 103 caps with the opener against Lithuania last week and now only trails all-time leading scorer Sir Bobby Charlton by two. Rooney's England tally is only two behind the record of 49, set by Sir Bobby Charlton . Mata (left) and Rooney will look to continue Manchester United's form against Aston Villa on Saturday . Providing an injury or an alarming loss of form does not strike, Rooney should have broken the record by the time England are gearing up for another tournament. Rooney and Mata will look to continue United's push for a return to Champions League football when Aston Villa visit Old Trafford in the Premier League on Saturday.
