Finally a decision on Rooney

Manchester United will not risk Wayne Rooney against Bayern Munich in the Champions League. The England goal ace picked up ankle ligament damage in United's 2-1 defeat in the first leg of the quarter-final, but reports had suggested an early return was possible. Rooney, who has hit 34 goals this season, sat out United's open training session on Tuesday with Fergie later confirming there was "no chance" of him starting on Wednesday. "We have made some good progress with the lad and the medical team have done fantastic, but I am not prepared to take a risk on a player who is not 100% fit,” commented Ferguson. "We are looking more at the Manchester City game, maybe Blackburn as a substitute. That is possible. But it is an ankle injury, the same as any other. He is no different to anyone else."
