MANCHESTER UNITED CAPTAIN Wayne Rooney will miss his team’s Premier League trip to Watford due to illness.

Rooney played and scored in England’s 2-0 win over France on Tuesday night but he is added to a substantial list of absentees that manager Louis van Gaal must contend with as he attempts to mastermind a win at Vicarage Road.

Midfielder Michael Carrick and forward Anthony Martial suffered respective ankle and foot injuries while playing for England and France over the past week.

Van Gaal is hopeful that Rooney and Martial can return for Wednesday’s Champions League clash with PSV.

Marouane Fellaini also remains on the sidelines alongside Antonio Valencia, who is set for an extended spell away from action after undergoing foot surgery.

Ex-Ireland international makes fantastic gesture to the club where it all began
