Rooney Suffers Injury During 3-0 Defeat At Everton

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney suffered an injury in the closing stages of Sunday’s 3-0 defeat to Everton, adding to Louis van Gaal’s headache on a testing afternoon at Goodison Park.

The Toffees earned a convincing win via goals from James McCarthy, John Stones and Kevin Mirallas, and United’s afternoon went from bad to worse when Rooney suffered an injury that led to him being replaced by Robin van Persie on 88 minutes.

The England skipper was then pictured in the dugout with an ice pack around his leg and a look of discomfort on his face. The severity of his injury is yet to be determined.

Van Gaal confirmed to MUTV: "Yes, Rooney was injured. He had a shot on his knee, so we have to wait and see how heavy (serious) it is."
