Konchesky: Fulham defence capable of silencing Man Utd star Rooney

Fulham fullback Paul Konchesky insists they have the defence to silence Manchester United star Wayne Rooney today.

Konchesky is adamant that centre-halves Brede Hangeland and Aaron Hughes can keep 30-goal striker Wayne Rooney under wraps.

"We've beaten United at home already, and we've always got a chance," said the left-back.

"Brede and Aaron are strong, quick, good in the air and read the game well, so they have great ability to stop him (Rooney)."
