April 6th: Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson says there is no truth in the rumour that Wayne Rooney will play a part in  tomorrow's Champions League tie against Bayern Munich. Rooney is making great progress in his recovery from the ankle ligament injury he sustained last week but sat out United's open training session on Tuesday and Ferguson said there was "no chance" of him starting on Wednesday.The United manager added: "We have made some good progress with the lad and the medical team have done fantastic, but I am not prepared to take a risk on a player who is not 100% fit. They are looking more at the Manchester City game, maybe Blackburn as a substitute. That is possible. But it is an ankle injury, the same as any other. He is no different to anyone else." Asked whether Rooney could be on the bench against Bayern, Ferguson said: "I don't think so, although he will maybe talk me into it. It is a difficult one."
