Rooney leads young Reds
Wayne Rooney will captain United in the Champions league clash with
Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday night.
Reds boss Sir Alex Ferguson has taken a young squad to Roma for the
meaningless final Group F match.
Wes Brown and Michael Carrick are the only other players besides
Rooney who started against Derby County on Saturday.
Rooney has been handed the captaincy, after much persistence from
the 22-year-old.
"He has been pestering me for quite a while now, so I have given
in," said Sir Alex.
United from: Kuszczak, Heaton, Brown, Eckersley, O'Shea, Pique,
Evans, Simpson, Lee, Chester, Cleverley, Hewson, Nani, Eagles,
Carrick, Fletcher, Dong, Brandy, Saha, Rooney.
