Man Utd boss Ferguson: Rooney fit for Moscow

The Manchester United chief also dismissed any suggestions that the England star would require any form of surgery.

"With Wayne it is just that knock in the hip, he got it against Blackburn and it was amazing really cause Nelsen came across and whacked him in the hip and he got a foul against him, which for me was an amazing decision," Ferguson told Sky Sports.

"When you get that knock, the bruising was there and he wants to play knowing Wayne. But it is has never cleared up, last Saturday against Chelsea he was struggling badly and we can't get rid of the bruised blood, it is trapped between the muscle and the hip joint so it is very painful, so once we clear that up the pain will go."

Ferguson denied there was any need for an operation when asked: "No, no, no - he will be fit for the final - no question about that, the big rush is now just to get him fit for next Saturday."
