Man Utd striker Rooney: I can manage knee injury

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has played down concerns over his knee injury.

Rooney played in United's victory over AC Milan last week despite carrying the knock.

He said: "My knee problem wasn’t much. It was just some bruising which was ­catching sometimes.

“It was a bit painful but it’s something you’ve got to get on with. I want to play every game. I’m in good form, scoring goals and any player doing that wants to play – I’m okay!

“To play for my country is a great honour and unless I really can’t play at all, I’ll ­always play.

“I hope everyone sees the real Wayne Rooney at the World Cup, after the last two tournaments when I was injured and then sent off. It’s not nice to be injured and, hopefully, I’ll stay fit from now ­until the end of the season and be fit for the World Cup.”
