David Moyes expects Wayne Rooney to
feature for Manchester United in their
pre-season game against AIK in
Stockholm next month.
Rooney's future at Old Trafford has been
shrouded in doubt throughout the
close-season, with Chelsea already
having a bid for the England
international rejected.
The 27-year-old has reportedly been unsettled since being left out of the United
team to play Real Madrid in the second leg of their last-16 UEFA Champions League
tie in March by former manager Alex Ferguson.
Rooney has also flown home from the club's pre-season tour of Asia with a
hamstring injury, but after watching his side lose to Yokohama F. Marinos on
Tuesday, new boss Moyes revealed the striker should be availabe for their friendly
with AIK on August 6.
"I do expect Wayne to be in Stockholm," said the Scot.
"As far as I know he is coming on, he has started light jogging and the feedback from
the physios is that he is progressing so hopefully those dates will still be right when
we get back."
