Rooney books Man Utd reunion with Derby FA Cup win

Wayne Rooney has booked a reunion with his former club Manchester United in the FA Cup.

Derby County completed a fourth round replay win over Northampton Town.

It means they will take on Premier League giantsManchester United in the next round.

Rooney is United's record goalscorer and won five Premier League titles and the Champions League with the Red Devils.

Rooney has only returned to England with Derby since January, while he was in the United States with DC United before then.

Now he has the chance to show he still has what it takes at the top level against United.

Rooney is likely to play a central midfield role if he starts the game.
