Rooney makes shock return
Published: 16 hrs ago
But Roo, 26, has stunned United’s medics and has been back in training for five days.
There is even a slight possibility he could be on the bench for tonight’s Champions League opener at home to Galatasaray.
The England star will almost certainly be available for Sunday’s showstopper with Liverpool at Anfield.
Rooney, who is wearing light strapping to avoid infection, took his first steps towards a comeback last week with a light outdoor session and gym work.
But yesterday’s session was a giant stride forwards and gave United a massive boost ahead of their trip to Merseyside.
