De Gea upbeat over Rooney absence

Manchester United keeper David de Gea claims other players are ready to step into the breach to fill the void left by Wayne Rooney’s three-match suspension.

Rooney will miss all his side’s games in October, starting against his former side Everton on Sunday and including Chelsea’s trip to Old Trafford, after being sent off during United’s 2-1 Barclays Premier League win over West Ham.
