Rooney in doubt for Spurs clash

2:34 pm on 1 January 2014

Manchester United will give a late fitness test to striker Wayne Rooney ahead of their Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur.

Rooney missed the 1-0 win at Norwich City on Saturday due to a groin injury.

Champions United have won six matches in a row in all competitions, climbing to sixth in the table at the halfway point of the season.

Coach David Moyes is expecting a tough game against Tottenham who are just one place below them and enjoyed their first win since Tim Sherwood was appointed manager against Stoke City on Sunday.

The sides drew 2-2 at White Hart Lane at the start of December and Spurs won 3-2 at Old Trafford last season, their first win at United since 1989.
