(Reuters) - Derby County midfielder Wayne Rooney will want to prove there is still some fight left in him when they host his former club Manchester United on Thursday in the fifth round of the FA Cup, United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said on Wednesday.
Rooney spent 13 seasons at United as a forward, finishing his career at Old Trafford in 2017 as the club's top scorer with 253 goals and winning 16 trophies in all, including five Premier League titles and the Champions League.
"Everyone appreciates what he did for us. He gave absolutely everything for this club. But any goal he scores against us will be chalked off his goals tally. He's a threat in and around the box, set plays. Fernandes, 25, has thrived as a playmaker in the middle of the park, pulling strings in United's attack and bagging three goals and two assists since his debut last month.
