Rooney unleashed in Romania

ALEX FERGUSON is ready to let Wayne Rooney loose on Champions League foes Otelul Galati tonight.

Under normal circumstances, a trip to face the ailing Romanian champions, sandwiched in between key Premier League fixtures against Liverpool and Manchester City would be the cue for Ferguson to rest many of his senior players.

But that opportunity was denied to the Manchester United boss when his team tossed away a two-goal lead against FC Basle at Old Trafford three weeks ago.
