Wayne Rooney is ruled out of playing in today’s match between Manchester United and Liverpool due to an injury to his forehead. This injury comes amid ongoing transfer speculations, particularly with Chelsea showing interest in the player. However, according to Chelsea manager José Mourinho, the transfer is now officially off the table.
Mourinho stated after Chelsea’s defeat against Bayern Munich in the European Super Cup, “For all parties, it’s over. It’s one thing to be told by others that you want, you want, you really want, but at the end of the day… It’s over. We have a good group. Samuel will bring us a new range of qualities in attack.”
Manchester United’s manager, David Moyes, also emphasized his desire for Rooney to be motivated and contribute goals to the team. Rooney’s future with Manchester United remains uncertain, but for now, he is dealing with a forehead injury that keeps him sidelined.
