Manchester United will be without strikers Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie for today’s FA Cup third-round tie with Swansea. Rooney (groin) and Van Persie (thigh) are both injured, as is winger Ashley Young (shoulder).
Swansea winger Pablo Hernandez is likely to miss out after suffering a hamstring injury. Leon Britton is a doubt though illness and Michu, Michel Vorm and Nathan Dyer are all definitely out.
Rooney missed the trip to Norwich on 28 December with a groin problem but returned for the New Year’s Day loss to Tottenham. However on Friday he was pictured leaving a private hospital in Manchester.
“He has got a groin injury and won’t be available on Sunday,” Red Devils manager David Moyes said. “He’s got a chance (of facing Sunderland on Tuesday).”
