Rooney returns

Wednesday, 07/04/2010

Wayne Rooney has returned to action as a shock starter in Man United's crucial Champions League game with Bayern Munich.

Old Trafford and England fans were initially told that the striker had "no chance" of kicking off the game and that the most he could hope for was a place on the substitutes' bench.

But the hitman was back for United's must-win fixture - and being watched by England boss Fabio Capello who will have the Roonster as the first name on his team sheet if he is fit for the World Cup finals.
