Wayne Rooney was once again left out of the starting eleven for Monday night’s 0-0 draw with Liverpool, but he could return to the lineup on Thursday night under the lights of Old Trafford against Fenerbahce, where they will also welcome back Robin Van Persie.
Speaking with the Mirror, Rooney said:
“Of course I want to play – I just have to keep working and get into the team”
“I’m sure my chances will come, then it is up to me to take them. I have to try and do my job for the team and wait for my chance.
“I like to think I can play every game, but obviously it’s the manager’s decision and I respect that. I will be ready when I’m needed.
“I think we’ll be challenging [for the title] this season. We’ve still got that belief and it is even stronger after working with this manager and the players over the last few months. I think we’ve got a fantastic squad, that is ready and capable of challenging.”
