Rooney has recovered from his knee injury, but he lacks match fitness for Sunday's game against Tottenham, manager Louis van Gaal said Friday.

Analysis:

Rooney has been out for nearly two months due to his injury, and while he is inching closer to a return, United have been fairly solid with Marcus Rashford leading the attack. That being said, it would be quite surprising if Rooney wasn't back in the starting XI as soon as he gets his match fitness back.
