Rooney trains with Utd reserves
9 Aug 2013 5:43 AM IST
Wayne Rooney continued his quest for fitness by training with the Manchester United reserves on Thursday.
But while some may assume that to be evidence of a worsening relationship between the England striker and his club, apparently it was at the 27-year-old’s own request.
Rooney -- who has been the subject of two bids from Chelsea, both rejected by United -- is on the comeback trail after a shoulder injury in pre-season, added to an earlier hamstring problem that together have seen him miss all United’s pre-season friendlies. And he is set to sit out Rio Ferdinand’s testimonial against Sevilla on Friday as well.
