Rooney to lead United
Updated 15.26 Tue Dec 11 2007
Wayne Rooney will lead Manchester United in their final Champions League group game against Roma.
Both teams are already through, with United guranteed to finish top, so few star players are likely to be risked.
"He has been pestering me for quite a while now so I have given in" - Sir Alex Ferguson
But Rooney will be in the United team and Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed the England striker will be his captain for the night.
Ferguson said: "He has been pestering me for quite a while now, so I have given in."
Five members of United's 20-man squad for the match have never played in the United first team.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Carlos Tevez, Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs have all been left at home.
