Roo ready for Bayern

DAVID Moyes insists it would be “pure madness” to leave Wayne Rooney out of Manchester United’s decisive Champions League clash against Bayern Munich tonight.

Rooney is expected to have a pain–killing injection in his injured toe so he can play in the quarter–final second leg in Germany.

Moyes has no qualms about playing the 28 year old star: “Everybody knows his character and the kind of player he is,” the United manager said. “He is determined to play and if he is determined we would be mad not to play him.”

On Friday Moyes revealed Rooney had suffered a toe injury in the 1–1 first leg game - but refused to confirm whether it was bruising or even a hairline fracture.

“We think it’s OK,” said Moyes. “We wouldn’t do anything medically wrong. We take advice from our doctors and the people who advise us.”

United have to score to make it through to the semi–finals, but Bayern boss Pep Guardiola expects Moyes’ men to park the bus in Bavaria.

“I think they are going to wait back with eight or nine players in the box, await our mistake and wait for a free–kick or a corner to punish us,” he said.
