PARIS (Reuters) - Manchester United's Wayne Rooney did not travel with the squad for Wednesday's Europa League last-32, second leg at St Etienne despite training on the eve of the match, amid continuing media speculation about his future at the club.

The England striker has been struggling with a muscle injury and last played at the start of February. British media have linked the 31-year-old with a move to the Chinese Super League where the transfer window remains open until Feb. 28.
