Wayne Rooney will be fit for the Champions League Final on May 21st , but will not start for United on Sunday when they play their last match of the season! At best, Rooney will be on the bench

This is what Sir Alex had to say “You have to make the right decision, no matter what game it is or what squad you’ve got. You can’t pick players if they’re not fit and that’s a key issue. That’s why we have a medical department, that’s why we have five physiotherapists at this club. That’s why we place a lot of importance on our medical staff. They do their job properly and the players won’t play unless they’re 100 per cent.”

NermanjaVidic, on the other hand, looks fit and could very well start on Sunday.  “I’m very hopeful Vidic will be fit for Sunday,” added Sir Alex. “Obviously the next two training sessions [Friday and Saturday] are very important for him. But he’s much, much better, clear medically, so hopefully I can get him for Sunday.
