Rooney set to play despite absence

Wayne Rooney should figure for Manchester United in Tuesday's Champions League match against Benfica.

The England striker missed training on Monday with a knock - but he is expected to be fit for selection for the Group C fixture at Old Trafford.

Jonny Evans should also be available despite a tight hamstring, although fellow defender Chris Smalling (foot) will not be available and striker Danny Welbeck (muscle strain) remains doubtful.
