Manchester United will have to overcome the loss of Wayne Rooney and the excellent form of its opponent if it is to improve its terrible record in Spain in Wednesday's Champions League match against Valencia.
Rooney has been ruled out with an ankle injury, as is team-mate Antonio Valencia, who will miss most of the season after breaking his ankle two weeks ago. Winger Ryan Giggs is also out due to a hamstring strain and Paul Scholes will be rested.
