Champions League: Rooney Will Relish Final - Ferguson


Ferguson said United are well prepared and "have a great chance" of reversing their loss in the 2009 final, when Rooney was subdued.
"We have players who will all like this stage," added the Scot."In terms of Rooney's progress in Europe, he is much more mature than he was in 2009. And others too."Rooney played wide on the left in the 2009 Champions League final when United lost 2-0 to the Catalan side, but he is expected to start in a more central role on Saturday.Although he suffered a poor start to the season, the 25-year-old has struck up a formidable partnership with strike partner Javier Hernandez and the pair could begin the match at Wembley if Ferguson decides to name an attacking line-up.United defender Rio Ferdinand is also sure that Rooney can have an impact, and cited Rooney's overhead kick against Manchester City earlier in the season as evidence he could deliver on the big stage.
"When we have needed Wayne to stand up and be counted he has been there," said Ferdinand.
