Leeds skipper Naylor: I want to face Man Utd striker Rooney

Leeds United captain Richard Naylor has urged Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson to select a full-strength line-up for tomorrow's FA Cup tie.

Naylor is keen to match himself against United star Wayne Rooney.

He said: "Rooney is the top striker in England at the moment, so it will be nice if he plays. You want to pit yourself against the best. You don't want anyone to have any excuses, like Manchester United playing their reserves, so if we get a decent result I hope it is against their first choice eleven."
