United’s title hopes suffer heavy blow

Manchester United might have been buoyed by their win over Tottenham on Saturday, but they may have to do without talismanic striker Wayne Rooney for the remainder of the title run-in. This comes after the England goal ace limped off at Old Trafford with a groin injury. "Groin injuries are groin injuries, it might be two to three weeks," said United boss Sir Alex Ferguson after the 3-1 win over Spurs. "We'll give it every chance, Wayne's obviously desperate to play." The Red Devils only have two games remaining this season, at Sunderland on 2 May and when Stoke visit Old Trafford a week later. Rooney is however expected to be fit for the World Cup.
