Wayne Rooney is left out of Manchester United's starting lineup against Real Madrid tonight.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has left Wayne Rooney on the bench for his side's Champions League clash against Real Madrid this evening.

The striker is replaced by Danny Welbeck in the lineup, with winger Nani also starting the second leg of the last-16 tie for the Red Devils.

Ryan Giggs will make his 1000th senior competitive appearance tonight as he has been included in the United team.
