Rooney all set to put Man U’s Champions League campaign back on track

Boss Sir Alex Ferguson said that Rooney is ready to ignore his international trauma,as he was left out of the starting line-up for Saturday’s clash.

But he came into play in the 69th minute following Steven Gerrard’s opener,The Sun reports.

Rooney,25,will be in the starting line up for Champions League encounter against Romanian club Otelul Galati,as United look to get their first group win after two opening draws.

Referring to the Liverpool,Ferguson said of Rooney: “When he came on he was quite bubbly. He was full of energy and enthusiasm. He was desperate to get on actually,which is good because when he sat watching the game he probably said,‘I could be out there’.

He’ll be playing in this game.”

Rooney hoped to receive only a one-match ban,but UEFA made it three and the FA have yet to decide if they will appeal.

Ferguson said: “I think the initial news was a definite blow for him. He didn’t expect that. I don’t think any of us did. To me,it was a silly action but it wasn’t seriously dangerous. It was a slight reaction,but to get a three-match ban…”
