Rooney to make come back at Boleyn Ground

 Manchester United say Wayne Rooney is poised to make a comeback at the Boleyn Ground on Wednesday in the FA Cup sixth round replay.

Wayne Rooney started tonight for Manchester United Under 21’s in a game at Old Trafford  against Middlesbrough U21’s. He was replaced on sixty minutes unscathed.

Rooney continues his recovery from a knee injury but Louis van Gaal was cautious about the striker’s sharpness upon his return. “We have to wait and see if that is the case,” Van Gaal said. “He shall play on Monday 60 minutes. We will see how he is doing because he is more than two months out of the game. “Of course he is a great striker but he has to show already if he is in certain shape. It is always like that.”

Rooney has scored 11 goals in all competitions for Manchester United this season including seven in his last eight outings.
