Excited Beckham is certain Rooney will play against Milan: "

MILAN, March 9 — AC Milan midfielder David Beckham returns to Old Trafford for the first time in seven years tomorrow and fully expects to face Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.

In-form England forward Rooney, who scored twice in United’s 3-2 first leg win, is a doubt for the Champions League last-16 return match due to a knee problem.
