Wayne Rooney is growing increasingly frustrated with his bit-part role at Manchester United and fears that his Old Trafford career is fizzling out.
Rooney has already confirmed to teammates that he will leave United this summer, but was hoping to end his 13-year association with the club on a high.
The England striker has missed the last two games with a double ankle injury that is expected to rule him out of consideration for Thursday night’s Europa League quarter-final with Anderlecht in Belgium.
It’s the latest in a variety of issues with injury and illness that have sidelined the 31-year-old since he became United’s all-time record scorer in January when he claimed his 250th goal for the club at Stoke.
