Rooney injury leaves Man Utd with 13-goal attack

Wayne Rooney's ankle injury has left Manchester United with a strike-force boasting barely 13 goals between them.

That is how many times Dimitar Berbatov, Mame Biram Diouf and Federico Macheda have found the back of the net between them this season.

Berbatov leads the way with 12, while Diouf has one and Macheda, who had such a dramatic cameo role last year, has not scored in his six appearances during an injury-hit season.

Given that own goals have been the third highest contributor to United's goals tally this season with 11, the Reds will be hoping John Terry and his team-mates stick another one in at Old Trafford tomorrow.
