Jose Mourinho has revealed that Wayne Rooney is available for Manchester United’s clash with Arsenal on Saturday.

The 31-year-old was forced to pull out of England duty ahead of Tuesday’s friendly against Spain due to a knee injury.

The United captain also issued an apology earlier this week after pictures surfaced of the striker appearing to be drunk at a wedding.

‘Over the last two or three days nothing happened, he trained like everybody else, he wants to play like everybody else, he’s ready. What happened in the national team happened in the national team, I don’t comment,’ said Mourinho.

‘My players when they go there belong to the national team and I don’t like to comment.

‘Sometimes they come back stronger than when they left us because something good happened there, positive for them, other times injuries, sometimes big injuries, sometimes frustrations because they didn’t play or the result was bad.

‘In this case, we knew what didn’t go well but the national team is a different chapter and is closed now until March."
