Coach Kwesi Appiah has named his squad for next month's double World Cup qualifier with Sudan and Lesotho.

Outgoing Manchester United chief executive David Gill is "confident" Wayne Rooney will still be at the club next season.

Rooney, 27, asked to leave Old Trafford earlier this month after a turbulent season with the English champions.

Gill believes "every bit of work" is being done to speak to the player and his representatives.

He was speaking at Uefa's Congress in London after being elected to the confederation's executive committee.

The future of Rooney has been under scrutiny since the striker was omitted from Manchester United's starting line-up for their Champions League tie against Real Madrid on 5 March.

It was revealed by Sir Alex Ferguson that Rooney had asked to leave the club for a second time, although United insist he is not for sale.

Although Rooney did not figure against Swansea in Ferguson's final home match, he did join his team-mates in the Premier League title celebrations afterwards when United were presented with the trophy, receiving a mixed reception from supporters.

It is believed the arrival of David Moyes could change Rooney's mind.

Moyes, who has signed a six-year contract with United, handed Rooney his Premier League debut at Everton as a 16-year-old in August 2002.
