Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that striker Wayne Rooney remains a major injury doubt for Sunday’s trip to Anfield to face arch-rivals Liverpool.
The United striker has been sidelined with a calf injury since England’s World Cup qualifier in Ukraine a fortnight ago and is unlikely to recover in time.
However Sir Alex Ferguson still harbours a slim hope that Rooney will feature but his star forward faces a fitness race along with Scotland midfielder Darren Fletcher.
Sir Alex told reporters that he can’t give a clear picture on the injury front, but there are still some doubts about Rooney and Darren Fletcher.
