I don't think he needs a rest that much(its more a case of not being a sconfident as he normally is). He missed the last 30 minutes against Andorra. And Saha is unlikely to start tomorrow so he'll be needed.
Manchester United vs. Blackburn

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

Rooney will start definately, Saha and Ole are only coming back from injury and are short of match fitness.
I expect the same team as the Bolton game, but with Scholes and Brown in for Neville and Giggs. Bentley is out for Rovers so thats good news as he seems to be in good form atm.
I think we will win but it will be very close
P.S Does anyone know whether this shown on Star Sports, or another channel?

Anyone who got the starting XI we and Blackburn played last year at Old Trafford when we lost 1-2? I remeber that Rooney was rested in that game and come on after 60 min or so.
Which 11 will Rovers play tomorrow do you think?

Saha should be on the bench tomorrow however we don't know if he'll be utilised. We'll need him for the Roma game. Hasn't done bad for us in Europe this term.
can tell you who are out for Rovers;
Blackburn Rovers
RETURNING: Aaron Mokoena (suspension), Ryan Nelson (hamstring)
OUT: David Bentley (suspended), Robbie Savage (broken leg), Andre Ooijer (broken leg), Steven Reid (cruciate ligament).
DOUBTFUL: Andy Todd (knee).
So it's not too bad I guess
Why Park on the left? Ronaldo is best there, Park is best on the right, when will this get through to you?
Ye, I'm an idiot and forgot he's back.
Scholes in for Sheasy.VDS
Brown Rio Vidic Heinze
Park Carrick Scholes Ronaldo
Rooney Giggs
Subs: PIG, O'Shea, Eagles, Richie, Ole
Brown Rio Vidic Heinze
Park Carrick Scholes Ronaldo
Rooney Giggs

Why rest Wayne for Roma? He's shit in Europe, no matter fitness
yup that team should do it....but I would have Rooney on the bench...just in case..

"There are many who feel that Wayne Rooney is in need of a rest after an arduous week with the national team, but Sir Alex Ferguson knows better than most what makes the 21-year-old tick. “He will play,” the Manchester United manager said, leaving Blackburn Rovers to worry that they will face the backlash at Old Trafford this afternoon.

If anything, we have to win this as revenge for their double over us last season
Any chance of Saha & Evra being on the bench?
I would be surprised if Saha is on the bench, think he will be ready for Roma instead.
Evra, don't know what the problem is with him. The last game he played was against L'pool on 3rd. I really hope he's back on the bench today. Heinze should start, but bring on Evra if we need him.
I hope Park plays today. He should be fresh and ready if Fergie would like to give Giggs a rest, or play like we did against Bolton with Giggs-Rooney upfront and Ronaldo-Park wingers.
Good to have Scholes back today, fresh after the 3 match ban. Also Carrick should be ok, because he didn't played for England.
The only players who might need a rest at the moment are prob. Giggs, Rooney and Ronaldo but don't think Fergie can afford to rest them today, maybe Giggs.
Ferdinand and Vidic also played 180 min in the internationals, but don't think they need a rest.
Hopefully they can have a rest against Watford in two weeks time, but not today the Lge is to important.
on sky?
According to BBC Saha isn`t available today.

How can you put Smudger in your team as a striker and want to give him a decent go, but don't predict him scoring??

Best lineup we could put out.
Good team, but I wanted to see Saha back up and runningBench?
Good lineup. I`m glad to see that we`re giving Blackburn the respect they deserve. They`re a hard side to meet.
Weirdo
Best team we can put out.
Bench?
He's probably being rested, we need him against Roma if he is fit.
Bench
PIG
Smith
Ole
O'Shea
Richardson
Still looking a lot better on the striker front, with Ole being back, and Smith starting to look like himself again

So no Saha, Neville, Evra, Fletcher & Silvestre.

Ronaldo on fire scores 2 and Rooney picks up a goal.
