Goal.com said:According to a report emanating from Setanta.com, Wayne Rooney is a major doubt for Manchester United's FA Cup semi-final against Everton at Wembley on Sunday.
Apparently, the England international forward is struggling with a suspected metatarsal injury, although the extent of the problem is as yet unknown.
It is thought that 17-year-old Italian striker Federico Macheda, who has scored against Aston Villa and Sunderland recently, could start in place of Rooney in attack. These whispers have found particular foundation after manager Alex Ferguson revealed he will be resting players.
"When I pick my team on Sunday there will be critics voicing their concern about me not playing my strongest side," Ferguson remarked.
"We’ve got so many big games coming up, somewhere along the line I’ve got to make changes.
"There are some fans who’d like me to play my best team every game. That’s impossible."
