Rooney sent to States

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has no fresh injury worries ahead of the Barclays Premier League clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Manchester United are sending Wayne Rooney for a week’s conditioning work in the United States in a bid to ensure he is fully fit for a first-team comeback.

Rooney is presently sidelined by an ankle injury and manager Alex Ferguson does not expect his star striker to be back in action for another three weeks.
