UK Back Pages: Wayne Rooney Is 'Back,' Papers Link Sadio Mane to Man United

It may be a bit premature to declare Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney "back," but one wouldn't know it by reading Sunday's back pages.

Rooney, out of form for most of United's campaign, scored a well-taken winner on Saturday as the Red Devils topped Swansea City 2-1 at Old Trafford.

Rooney was hailed for his performance. 

Mirror Sport leads with Rooney while also linking United with a move for Sadio Mane and Manchester City with a move for unsettled Real Madrid star Isco.
