Wayne Rooney set to make Manchester United return against Manchester City Wayne Rooney is set to make a dramatic return to the Manchester United side for the crunch derby with Manchester City next week. Rooney, who missed England’s World Cup qualifiers against Moldova and Ukraine, has been nursing a nasty head injury picked up in training before the international break . But after returning to full training this week, the 28- year-old has been penciled in to return for the clash with City at the Etihad Stadium. The fixture has already been dubbed ‘a potential title decider’, and David Moyes has reportedly urged his medical staff to make sure Rooney is 100% fit for the match. As such, Moyes will resist the temptation of bringing him back early, with games against Crystal Palace and Bayer Leverkusen set to follow before the City fixture. Rooney was subject of three offers from Chelsea during the summer transfer window, but United are ready to offer him a new deal if he plays well on his return , in a bid to end speculation over his future.
