WAYNE ROONEY is fit and raring to go for Manchester United at Sunderland on Sunday.
The 34-goal striker has shrugged off a groin strain and returns to training today.
United boss Alex Ferguson had feared Rooney's season was over after he suffered the injury eight days ago.
But the 24-year-old has once again defied medical opinion to declare himself fit and give United a massive boost in the Premier League title race.
Rooney has had a number of injury problems in the last two months.
He first started to suffer from an inflamed kneecap and then damaged tendons in his ankle in the Champions League quarter-final in Bayern Munich.
Despite being on crutches and having a foot cast he missed only one game and was back for the return tie with Bayern.
He aggravated the injury in that game but returned for the Manchester derby before picking up his latest groin problem during a training session.
Rio Ferdinand, who has missed the last two games with a groin injury, will also train today and believes he will be fit for the Sunderland game.
