Wayne Rooney is ready to make himself available for Manchester United's Premier League opener at Swansea City by proving his fitness to David Moyes in England's friendly against Scotland tomorrow.
Rooney, yet to play for United in pre-season because of hamstring and shoulder injuries, remains determined to leave Old Trafford for Chelsea. Despite that, he is also fully prepared to return to action for United while his future remains uncertain.Moyes and United have maintained throughout the summer that Rooney will not be sold, despite Chelsea lodging bids of £20m and £30m for the 27-year-old.
With Rooney forced to return from United's pre-season tour of Asia and Australia after just 24 hours last month as a result of a hamstring injury, followed by the shoulder problem sustained against Real Betis, he has been denied the match action necessary to boost his fitness to the required levels.
But the player is understood to have embraced a demanding fitness programme in recent weeks and that has left him believing he is capable of returning to action at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.
