Rooney doubtful

MANCHESTER United captain Wayne Rooney could miss this weekend's trip to Sunderland due to ankle problems.

The 31-year-old has found playing time hard to come by this season, although may well have an important role to play during a chaotic end to the campaign.

United had to do without Rooney against former club Everton as ankle pain kept him out of last night's 1-1 draw.

Jose Mourinho has confirmed the club's all-time top scorer is facing a race to be fit for Sunday's trip to Sunderland.
