And even though Rooney has not been in sparkling form this season, his experience and presence will be missed in Germany next week.
Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker has issued a strong critique of Louis van Gaal, describing the manager as “incredibly stubborn”.
Do you see Van Gaal winning a trophy with his current style of play at United?
The Dutchman has failed to impress in his time in England since replacing David Moyes, with many fans frustrated with his team’s lack of urgency and seemingly never-ending barren spells in front of goal. The club has the possibility to sign new players and it’s a very powerful club so all players want to play here.
Argentina worldwide Rojo, who was out for four weeks with a dislocated shoulder a year ago, was injured in training on Wednesday, exacerbating United’s left-back shortage. “But, of course, we need to work on our formation to try to score goals and win games”. “We have to see later and wait for the scan and make the scan at the proper time”.
He said: “When they bought Herrera I thought it was a lot of money and when I first saw him he was small and looked quite weak, especially for the Premier League”.
This is an unwanted headache for Van Gaal, as some of the other injuries were just beginning to clear. “We are looking but it is not that it is for sure”.
Phil Jones (ankle/foot) and Ander Herrera (hamstring) are also ruled out against eighth-placed West Ham, but young midfielder Jesse Lingard (hamstring) is returning to fitness after missing the game against Leicester.
