According to ESPNFC, Manchester United manager David Moyes has made it clear that he is not angered by the fact that Wayne Rooney was given an England call up despite a shoulder injury.

Rooney did not train with the United first team owing to the injury, and was selected by England manager Roy Hodgson despite the issue, for the upcoming match against Scotland to be played on Wednesday.

“I had a long conversation with Roy about it last week,” Moyes told MUTV. “Wayne has had a shoulder injury. He has been sore with it, which has meant he has not been able to have any contact, so he hasn’t trained with us [the first team].

“He has trained a little bit with the reserves as a non-contact player, a floating player, so at least he got a little bit of football work. He trained with the first team today [Saturday] and he did a bit of extra work, so he is probably more likely to be ready for England than he will be for us [against Wigan].

“You’ve got to remember he has had no football practice. I explained all this and I would only expect Roy to play him for a short time.”
