Mata could miss rest of the season

Following Man Utd’s Premier League fixture against West Brom on Saturday, Rooney will hop on a flight to Orlando, Florida for WrestleMania.

The forward, who became Man Utd’s all-time top goalscorer earlier this year, was hesitant to spoil the surprise of exactly what his cameo at the Orlando Citrus Bowl would entail.

“I can’t reveal what’s going to happen, I’m sworn to secrecy,” Rooney teased. “I’m definitely going to get booed though.

“But playing for England for 13 years has prepared me for being jeered by tens of thousands of fans, and being a villain to the general public.

“My flight back to Manchester isn’t until Tuesday too, so I’m going to spend Monday at Disney World. I can’t wait.”
