Wayne Rooney pulls out of Manchester United's pre-season trip to Sweden due to shoulder injury It's not too serious and I don't expect it to keep him out for too long. I'm disappointed he's missing the game because we were keen to get him back involved and ready to play. United used this image of Rooney to promote the fixture he is now missing (@ManUtd/Twitter) Rooney has been the subject of two failed bids from Chelsea in recent weeks, the latest on Sunday. It is clear he wants to leave Old Trafford, but is yet to hand in a formal transfer request, while United have made it clear they do not wish to sell the striker, especially to a Premier League rival. United will, however, welcome Nemanja Vidic back to action in the fixture tomorrow evening.
