Wayne Rooney fit to face Milan

Wayne Rooney has been declared fit for Wednesday night's Champions League last-16, second leg tie between Manchester United and AC Milan.
Rooney, who scored two headers as Sir Alex Ferguson's side won 3-2 in the first leg in Italy, missed United's 1-0 win over Wolves at the weekend due to an inflamed kneecap tendon.

The striker sustained the injury after playing in back-to-back games at Wembley, first representing United in the Carling Cup final and then starting for England in their friendly victory over Egypt.

Ferguson was angry with Rooney after he played 86 minutes for his country and said ahead of United's 1-0 victory over Wolves at Molineux: "Why didn't he come off? I can't believe it."

But Rooney, who has scored 28 goals in all competitions for United this season, is now in contention to start the game at Old Trafford as United aim to secure a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

"He is fit,'' Ferguson said. "There is a rapid improvement from Saturday morning because on Friday evening I didn't think he had any chance. It's good news. He is a threat to anyone at the moment."

Fellow striker Mame Biram Diouf did not take part in the full training session while Ryan Giggs performed some light jogging separately from his team-mates.

Milan have their own injury concerns and while Brazilian forward Alexandre Pato has travelled with the rest of Leonardo's team, he remains a doubt due to a hamstring problem
