Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney are part of the Manchester United squad flying to Munich this morning.

United have received a Champions League boost after Rooney and Ferdinand declared themselves fit for travel ahead of Tuesday night's quarter-final with Bayern Munich.

The England duo missed Saturday's 4-0 win at Bolton with a bruised foot and groin injury respectively.

However, Sir Alex Ferguson expressed confidence that the big-money pair would be available for the first leg encounter and both were among the United party that checked in at Manchester Airport on Monday morning.
