Rooney Out of Derby Cup Tie
Wayne Rooney will miss Manchester United's FA Cup tie at Derby because of his hamstring injury
Wayne Rooney will miss Manchester United's trip to Derby County in the FA Cup fifth round after suffering a setback in his rehabilitation from the hamstring injury that has ruled him out of England's game against Spain on Wednesday night.
The striker, who has missed United's last six matches, aggravated the problem in training and Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed that he would not consider him for the trip to Pride Park on Sunday.
Jonny Evans and Patrice Evra will be back in contention but Ferguson rates Rooney as only a "maybe" for next Wednesday's league game against Fulham at Old Trafford.
