Man City boss Pellegrini won't change tactics for Rooney

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini is paying little attention to news of a derby injury scare for Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney.

Pellegrini has paid little heed to news that Rooney had been limping this week ahead of Sunday's game.

"We really don't change our way to play for one player," he said. "If it's not Wayne Rooney it will be Angel di Maria, Juan Mata or Robin van Persie. They have so many creative players. We cannot prepare for a game talking about one player."
