Soccer-United to send Rooney to U.S. for week of conditioning
MANCHESTER, England, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Manchester United
will send injured forward Wayne Rooney to the United States for
a week of intense conditioning away from the media spotlight,
the club's assistant manager Mike Phelan said on Friday.
The England striker will miss Saturday's home Premier League
game against Wolverhampton Wanderer and Wednesday's derby at
Manchester City.
"He is going on Saturday and will return the following
Saturday," Phelan told a news conference.
"It might be in the interest of him and the club to have a
change of scenery. He has had a lot of attention lately so we
are going to give him the best possible opportunity that we can
to be in good shape when he returns."
Rooney, who has been in the headlines for several months in
the run-up to signing a five-year deal to stay at Old Trafford
because of allegations about his private life and his poor form,
has been struggling with an ankle injury.
