Rooney fit for Milan

March 09, 2010

Wayne Rooney is fit to face AC Milan - but United have confirmed Wes Brown will miss the next four to six weeks through injury.

Rooney missed out on the victory over Wolves on Saturday, but trained with the Premier League champions today ahead of their Champions League second leg with Milan at Old Trafford.

Worse news for United was the confirmation of Brown's injury.

The England defender was known to have been nursing a foot injury picked up against Wolves on Saturday, and there were fears he had suffered a broken metatarsal.

Wazza was always 'fit' for this one I reckon.
Not good news about Wes but it could have been worse...still got Rafa a Neville but I worry about either of them in the latter stages of the Champions League...
I also heard Sheasy may be fit before the end of the season. Anyone else??

United will win tomorrow night...

2-1

To be honest I am so glad Rooney is fit, cos without him I dont think we stand a chance. Having watched that performance Saturday I felt we were lucky to get the three points. Tommorow - will go for United win 3-1.

How old is this photograph ?? or is it a new one and he's had a Stevie Ireland transplant ???

Did you watch the performance against Everton gillykins and that was with the Roo playing. He does make a difference that there is no doubt but we are not a one man team are we?

I honestly think we will win this with or without Rooney. Its nice to have him but we need to learn to without him when necessary. Of course it doesn't help that Owen gets injured just as Rooney does!

I bet you 'Rags' are all glad that the headline wasn't' Rooney is not fit to play against Milan'. The honest truth is that you are now a one man team and you had all better hope and pray that the lad doesn't get injured or suspended.
Oh change that cos you are now a two man team, Fletcher is also irreplacable - how times change eh!

once a devil

Hello bertie clown! When you say "how times have changed" that's not really true though is it sweet cheeks? I mean for the past 20 years we have been winning TROPHY after TROPHY after TROPHY and you lot have been wining NOTHING after NOTHING after NOTHING.O wait! You did win a division 2 play off final on penalties once.

And on your "One man team" claim were we not a "one man team" last season or a "one man team before Van Nistlerooy left or a "one man team" before Beckham left etc.....So tell me does Rooney play as a "fly goalie" , do all of the defending then keep possesion in midfield, run out to the wing, cross the ball in the box, run into the box before it get's there and score from 8 yard's all by himself? If so then what a player.If this is true then there is a real life SUPERMAN.But the reality is that it is his team mates who create all the chance's for him to score and his team mates who keep the opposition out at the other end and it's the goalkeeper who keep's clean sheet's.If Rooney was to get injured then it would be a massive blow as he is one of the best player's in the World but would we all of a sudden stop creating chance's?No! It would be up to the like's of Berbatov, Owen, Macheda, Diouf to finish off the move's by getting in the box and tapping the chance's in that are put on a plate.So "one man team" Heard it all before.Yaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnn........

Better a one man team than a no man team.

Sorry to tell you Drago @ 13.32 but Owen got injured the other week and he won't be playing until next season or whenever.
I just thought I would let you know cos you obviously missed the incident.

canary....

I no he's injured i was refering to the striker's we have in our squad once everyone's fit you muppet!

Horace Hughes, Salford (10/03/2010 at 18:14)

Thank God. We need him tonight, as we were struggling against the Wolves without him. Would like Diouf to be given a runout again though. Maybe him and Berbaflop could play an half each. More likely we will play 4-5-1 again, with Rooney the lone striker. 3-2 to Utd.
