Wayne Rooney is finally facing up to the fact that he will not be allowed to leave Manchester United to join Chelsea.
Though desperate to play for Jose Mourinho, Rooney has knuckled down to getting himself fit after missing United’s pre-season games through injury.
The striker made his first appearance under David Moyes in last night’s 4-1 win at Swansea but, having set up two goals as a second-half substitute, seemed not to celebrate either with his team-mates.

Rooney went on to create the opening for a second goal for Van Persie before teeing up United’s fourth goal for Welbeck, but he appeared to trudge back to the halfway line as his team-mates celebrated.

‘I think he has realised there was no way the club were going to sell him and he has just got on with doing what he does best. It won’t be long before he is an automatic choice for the first team.’
