Not again! Wayne Rooney scared Manchester United
fans when he pulled up with an ankle injury against West Brom on
New Year's Day
Wayne Rooney could return
to the Manchester United
starting line-up for Sunday's
FA Cup third round tie with Liverpool at Old Trafford.
It appeared Rooney would be condemned to spend a spell on the
sidelines when he limped off with an ankle injury at West Brom on New Year's Day.
However, the England forward startled many observers when he
made his way back onto the field as United had already been reduced
to 10 men.
That decision cost Rooney a chance to figure in Tuesday's win
over Stoke. But the 25-year-old has returned to training and could
be in contention to face the Merseyside giants.
'If it had been serious Wayne would not have come back on last
week,' said Ferguson.
'Maybe it was not the right thing to do in terms of getting him
ready for Tuesday's game. But he started work yesterday and we just
hope that he will be all right for Sunday.'
