Rooney has settled in nicely at the Championship side and have helped steer the Rams away from the relegation zone and up the table.
He will relish the chance to prove he's still got it in front of an adoring United away support.
Yet the visitors won't be in any mood to show mercy with silverware in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's sights and a place in the FA Cup quarter-finals on the line.

Derby have stabilised themselves in the Championship, a solid if unspectacular unit with Rooney providing a dash of quality in the middle of the park.
It will be an interesting test to see whether he can keep up with the pace of United.

His dynamic range of passing and movement has given United an added sharpness and if he plays, he could steal the show again.
