Rooney doubtful for Magpies visit

Manchester United are sweating over the fitness of Wayne Rooney ahead of their Barclays Premier League clash with Newcastle.

Rooney sustained a hip injury in the win at Swansea last weekend which ruled him out of last night’s 2-2 Champions League draw with Benfica at Old Trafford, and it remains to be seen whether or not he will be available for the Magpies’ visit to the stadium on Saturday.
