Manchester City v Manchester United: Wayne Rooney not going to Real Madrid
Wayne Rooney, who has yet to prove his fitness for Saturday's derby against Manchester City at Eastlands - as do Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs - is reportedly a summer target for Real, who spent £80m to lure Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United to Madrid last June. [LNB]The 24 year-old is due to open talks over a new deal at United at the end of the season, with the club keen to replace the final two years of his existing contract.

[LNB]He said: "It's the silly season. It always happens at this time of the season, but Wayne Rooney will be here next year."[LNB]Rooney returned to training on Thursday after a struggling with an ankle injury since limping out of the Champions League exit against Bayern Munich last week. [LNB]Ferguson admits, though, that he is yet to make a decision on his availability for tomorrow's game. The United manager is also waiting on news on Giggs (hamstring) and Ferdinand (groin). [LNB]He said: "Wayne has done some work for a couple of days now, but we will wait and see how he is before tomorrow?s game. [LNB]"Ryan and Rio are a bit behind Wayne with their work, though, because they were injured in the game a Blackburn on Sunday. They did some jogging on Thursday, but we will need to see how they progress. [LNB]"Owen Hargreaves trained on Thursday, though, so he will be in the squad for the game tomorrow."[LNB]Buy Manchester United tickets or Manchester City tickets from Telegraph Sports Tickets [LNB]
