Focus on Rooney for Toon clash

Rooney scored 34 goals for United last year but has not found the net for club or country since opening the scoring in the Champions League quarter-final defeat to Bayern Munich in the Allianz Arena. New signing Javier Hernandez may have to be content with a place on the bench after a midweek trip to Mexico for the friendly draw with Spain. United (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, O'Shea, Neville, Rafael, Vidic, Brown, Evans, Smalling, Evra, Fabio, Valencia, Nani, Cleverley, Gibson, Scholes, Carrick, Fletcher, Park, Giggs, Rooney, Owen, Berbatov, Hernandez.
