Here are two AP columns on the Man United vs Sunderland.
Rooney Hit by Illness and Groin Injury
MANCHESTER, England— Wayne Rooney is doubtful for Manchester United’s home game in the English Premier League against Sunderland on Saturday because of a groin injury and illness.
Interim manager Ryan Giggs says on Friday several United players including Rooney have been suffering from a “bug.”
Giggs, who replaced the sacked David Moyes last week, says, “Wayne has a tight groin also so obviously with the bug you have to be careful with that because his immune system is down.”
Robin van Persie could make his return at Old Trafford after receiving treatment for a knee injury in the Netherlands.
United beat Norwich in Giggs’ first game in charge but United is reportedly looking for a more experienced manager, with Louis van Gaal expected to land the job.
Sunderland’s Survival
Having been bottom of the league before routing relegation-rival Cardiff 4-0, Sunderland is now out of the drop zone and should survive by winning two of its last three matches.
The first of the trio is against a Manchester United side with little to play for in seventh place but everything to prove about its enduring strengths as it looks to attract a successor to David Moyes.
If Ryan Giggs follows up last weekend’s emphatic victory over Norwich with another fine display as interim manager, the clamor for him to get the job permanently could grow.
