Manchester United are hopeful Wayne Rooney will be fit for this weekend’s derby after the club captain appeared to have a limp during a club sponsorship event on Monday.
According to the dailymail, sources in Rooney’s camp claims that the 29-year-old trained on Monday and was fully fit , despite appearing to carry his right leg gingerly at the launch of a new United deal with watch manufacturer Bulova in the afternoon.
Rooney has missed the last three United games due to a suspension after being sent off against West Ham and United boss Louis Van Gaal has been anticipating the England captain’s return to lift his side at City on Sunday.
United defender Phil Jones was absent completely from the launch as he was having his latest injury assessed amid fears of another lengthy layoff.
