Manchester United are preparing to welcome Wayne Rooney back from his week stay in American undergoing conditioning work. Rooney has made just one substitutes' appearance since the end of September after being badly affected by an ankle injury.
Last week United assistant-manager Mike Phelan revealed Rooney was being sent to Nike's plush HQ in Beaverton, on the west coach of the United States, for a week's specialised training.
The 25-year-old is due to return on Saturday and will be assessed by United's medical team on Monday.
"Wayne has been doing really well," Phelan told Key 103.
"He has been training really hard, working morning and afternoon.
"Our people out there who are looking after him have been really pleased with his attitude and approach.
"All being well he can have a nice easy flight back. We will see where he is at on Monday but we think he will have improved immensely."
