Wayne Rooney sent to USA.

Question

Why is Manchester United sending Wayne Rooney to USA?

Answer 1

Manchester United are sending Wayne Rooney for a week's conditioning work in the United States in a bid to ensure he is fully fit for a first-team comeback. Rooney is presently sidelined by an ankle injury and manager Sir Alex Ferguson does not expect his main striker to be back in action for another three weeks. But rather than use the state-of-the-art facilities at their Carrington training base, United have opted to use Nike's centre in Oregon, as much in a bid to get Rooney away from the constant headlines which have dogged him since news of his unhappiness at Old Trafford was first raised nearly three weeks ago.
