Manchester United have confirmed that Wayne Rooney will start against Reading in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday.

The England captain missed a trio of Premier League victories over the festive season after injuring his thigh during training on Christmas Day.

However, the 31-year-old returned to training this week and the club confirmed on Twitter that he and goalkeeper Sergio Romero will be in the starting XI against the Royals, who are managed by former United defender Jaap Stam.
