Wayne Rooney will not play in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final at Old Trafford tomorrow.
Rooney who has been the key element for United this season won't " be risked for the game" according to a news announcement. this will be a massive blow for United, who struggled without their talismanic striker against Chelsea on Saturday.
There is no doubt that confirmation of his absence will cause United to drift on the washing line during the build up to the game. Bayern can be backed at 2 (evens in old money) to qualify and given their away record in the Bundesliga (one defeat in eleven) the 5 to win the game will prove popular. Van Gaal has a full squad to select from tomorrow night.
