Various press sources report that young Wayne was spotted riding a bike around Carrington on Friday.
The People:
Wayne Rooney believes he will be kicking a ball a week before England's World campaign starts on June 10.
The SP understands that the Manchester United striker is already ahead of schedule in his recovery from a broken metatarsal.
Rooney, who has discarded the crutches and plastic cast, has been having two sessions a day in a special oxygen chamber as well as 1 swimming 40 lengths I and cycling 30 miles a day in a bid to be ready for Germany - and the ) results have been extremely positive.
Keano:
"I don't know the extent of Wayne's injury, but I've had that same type of problem myself and I've even been in the oxygen tent as he has.
"It's not an easy problem to recover from and that's why I think everyone is very selfish regarding what will happen to England.
"Obviously Manchester United will be selfish about it, too, but they have every right to be because Wayne is their player and they want what is best for him.
"But just imagine if Wayne was to go over there, break down and then find himself struggling for United next season. That wouldn't be fair on him or his club.
"England have to look at the bigger picture and not be so selfish. They have to do what is best for him.
"If Wayne isn't fully fit then people should do what's right by getting over it and making other plans. He should be just left alone to complete his recovery.
"He just has to accept that's life and then get over it - like I am sure he will if he needs to.
"But the worst thing would be to put pressure on the lad to go because he's still only a young man.
"A lot of United fans talk about me missing the Champions League Final in 1999, but I did my ankle ligaments in the FA Cup Final so I wouldn't have been fit to play even if I hadn't been suspended.
"The thing is that the ups more than made up for the downs - and that's what Wayne Rooney has got to realise.
"He will be gutted if he doesn't get himself fit in time, but he's a young lad and there will be plenty more World Cups for him."
Beckham:
"We all want Wayne to be fit, for his sake as well, because for the best young player not to be at the World Cup would be a shame.
"But he can't take risks. He's a young player and has a huge future ahead of him, so he has to be careful. He's got to make sure he's fit, and that he's not going to go and crack it again.
"Whatever Sir Alex says and does is what he thinks is best for United and what he thinks is best for the players," he said. "If he feels that Wayne's not ready, I'm sure he'll tell him."
England team doctor Leif Sward:
"I just talked to the doctors in Manchester and the report they gave me was very, very positive.
"I don't want to say so much because we have decided Manchester United's medical team, with Mike Stone in charge, will work with Rooney's recovery.
"I can say they have done a tremendous job with Wayne. And I can say I am very glad for this latest report. Wayne's progress is very positive."
United spokesperson:
"With all these things, one day things can look good, and the next it doesn't develop as well as you would hope, so we are sticking to the original prognosis.
"We will do our best to get Wayne to the World Cup, but we are not going to lead people to believe it is better than it is."
Eriksson:
''It's very important to know that Rooney is paid by Manchester United and they must look after their interest for the player and for the future.
''But on the other hand, if he is fit then I think no-one can tell him not to play in the World Cup. He is desperate to be there.
''Our doctors are in regular contact with the medical staff at United. I don't think we will have a situation where our medical staff staff say he's fit and United's say he is not."
