Rooney fit to face Milan

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is fit to face AC Milan in Wednesday night\'s Champions League showdown.



Rooney had been rated as a major doubt for the second leg of the last-16 clash at Old Trafford after a knee injury ruled him out of Saturday\'s 1-0 victory over Wolves.



The England international aggravated the problem he sustained after coming off the bench in the Carling Cup final while on duty for Fabio Capello\'s England in their 3-1 friendly success over Egypt.



Sir Alex Ferguson was unhappy to see his star striker play twice in quick succession on the much-criticised Wembley pitch and hinted before the weekend that his top scorer would not be available to tackle the Serie A side.



However, the 28-goal forward, who bagged a brace in the 3-2 success at the San Siro, will return to face Milan.
