Wayne Rooney will not have to play in midfield according to David Moyes.

The Manchester United said that the England striker will remain a forward under his management - in the short to medium term.

Moyes said: "I can only see Wayne playing up top and playing as a forward for us. I don’t have a goals target for him. But his targets have been big in recent years.”

Rooney trained today without his protective head gear ahead of tomorrow's Champions League clash with Bayer Leverkusen at Old Trafford.

Club and international colleague Danny Welbeck was not able to take part, but Shinji Kagawa was involved after missing Saturday's Premier League win over Crystal Palace.
