Rooney 'gutted' by injury flare

Star striker's torn hamstring forces him to skip Asian tour

Wayne Rooney said he was "gutted" on Friday after a hamstring injury forced him out of Manchester United's Asian tour on the very first day, with questions still unanswered about his future.

The England striker insisted the small tear, which flared just hours after United touched down in Bangkok and looks set to rule him out for a month, was not serious.
