Rooney worried about United place while injured

WAYNE ROONEY has revealed there were times during the past month when he wondered how he was going to get back into the Manchester United team.

Deep down, the striker felt Alex Ferguson would find a place for him in his squad.

But it is a measure of the quality United have at their disposal that all seven matches during Rooney’s absence with a hamstring injury have been won, with his direct replacement Carlos Tevez getting better with every game.
