Nice preview i don't see Rooney playing a part in this game at all. Saving him for Sunday against Chelsea whether it be a hamstring problem or not. I'm really not confident anymore i can't see us losing but i thought the same last year was it against Bayern Munich when we were 3-0 up and cruising. With this past one result against Arsenal has changed everything for me completely. I'm lacking confidence and dreading a collapse on all fronts having said that i strongly bel19ve we will beat Schalke and Chelsea but have a tad bit of doubt.
C'mon United.
