Manchester United will kick of their Champions League campaign against Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday.
The reigning English champs have struggled in the tournament in recent years and dropped out of the competition after losing to Real Madrid in the round of 16 last season.
The team is off to a solid start in the Premier League this year with two wins, one draw and one loss in four matches. One of the best sights for the club so far has been the play of Robin Van Persie and Wayne Rooney. Both scored in Manchester's recent win over Crystal Palace and manager David Moyes has recently agreed to let Rooney play up top for the club.
"He has scored a lot of goals. It was down last year. But to be successful you need to have people who can score you 20 goals. I am hoping with Robin [van Persie] and Wayne you have two there who you would say they have it in them to do that," he said, according to ESPN.
Later, he told reporters "I can only see Wayne playing up top and playing as a forward for us."
This seems to contradict previous statements he made about Rooney's place on the squad. However, after a testy transfer period, Moyes seems to have learned to value what he currently has and is looking to get the most out of it.
Prediction: Manchester wins 2-1.
Start Time: 2:45 PM EST
