Wazza Roo-led out of Anfield showdown

WAYNE ROONEY looks like missing out on today's Anfield showdown — even though he travelled with his Manchester United team-mates last night.

The Sun revealed yesterday that United were sweating on whether their star striker would win his battle with an ankle injury.

And the signs were looking bleak after Roo failed to train yesterday, giving United little chance to assess his fitness fully.

There was better news, though, for Ashley Young (knee) and Rio Ferdinand, who are now both expected to make the lunchtime tie.

And it is the imminent return of Young that has come as a real surprise.

The England midfielder, 26, has not played since the 5-0 win at Fulham in late December.
