Manchester United team news: Rooney, Carrick, Rojo and Herrera expected to be

However, the Mail indicates that Rooney is expected to shake of his knock in time to be fully available on Saturday when he returns to Premier League action with United against Everton, where the 29-year-old started his career.

Rooney has struggled to find goalscoring form in the Premier League this season, netting just once in eight league games.

“I don’t want to give my place up”, he said.

“He’s an out-and-out goalscorer, but I think at the end of the day with Wayne, he’s proved he can step into the midfield and play”.

It appears that the move has done the trick and both are now in line to feature in the tough-looking trip to Merseyside, as England manager Roy Hodgson confirmed before the Three Lions cruised to a 3-0 win against Lithuania on Monday night.

“And naturally, much of it has been about whether he would ever come back for good”. “The younger players in the group can really learn from Wayne, a player who has been a regular in the global team since he was a teenager”.

“Having the quality is one thing, but you still need to have the fight”.

“This boot was presented by Sir Bobby Charlton at Wembley Stadium on 9 October 2015 to mark Wayne Rooney becoming England’s all-time leading goal-scorer”.

His 50th global goal against Switzerland last month took him past Charlton, and he watched on from the sidelines, due to an ankle knock, as his team-mates maintained their 100 per cent record.

“I don’t think you can ever write off a player that’s scored the number of goals he has for England and Manchester United”, Beckham told SkySports News.
