Rooney confident despite Keane blow

Wayne Rooney admits the loss of Roy Keane to injury is a “massive disappointment” for Manchester United – but the striker has backed his team-mates to continue their fine start to the season without their skipper.

Keane, 34, broke a metatarsal bone in his left foot following a challenge with Liverpool’s Luis Garcia in yesterday’s goalless Barclays Premiership draw at Anfield.
