Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben is winning the battle to be fit in time for the second leg clash against Manchester United at Old Trafford tomorrow.
Robben, who missed the first leg and Saturday's top of the table clash against Scalke 04, looks more of a probable than a possible to the puntinplay team. Van Gaal told the official website of the football club "I have hopes he'll be able to play, but we'll have to wait and see. His muscles are still strained," .
The flying winger was very close to fitness for the Schalke clash and the conventional wisdom is that Van Gaal saved him for this game. Bayern are a top priced 5 to win the game and Robben is 12 to score first with bet365, in a market still carrying Wayne Rooney as the favourite at 4, despite the lunchtime comments of Sir Alex.
