| Rooney was seen chatting to referee Phil Dowd after Danny Welbeck scored United's fourth |
Though desperate to play for Jose Mourinho, Rooney has knuckled down to getting himself fit after missing United’s pre-season games through injury.
The striker made his first appearance under David Moyes in last night’s 4-1 win at Swansea but, having set up two goals as a second-half substitute, seemed not to celebrate either with his team-mates.
He had watched glumly as Robin van Persie scored an acrobatic opener and Danny Welbeck tapped in a second, but came on as a 62nd-minute substitute.
Rooney went on to create the opening for a second goal for Van Persie before teeing up United’s fourth goal for Welbeck, but he appeared to trudge back to the halfway line as his team-mates celebrated.
