Wayne Rooney may miss Manchester United's Champions League trip to CSKA Moscow later this month to be at the birth of his first child. Rooney still hopes to fly to Russia with the rest of Sir Alex Ferguson's squad as his wife Coleen is not due to give birth until after the Group B fixture on October 21.
But if there is any chance of the baby arriving prematurely, the England striker will stay behind with his wife in Cheshire as United look to maintain their 100 per cent record in Europe this season.
Rooney said: 'Naturally I want to be there for the birth of my child and if anything happens around that time then I'm sure I will stay here. 'She is due just after the game. Of course it's a long way to Moscow but I have a job to do and unless anything changes I will be there. 'If everything is going to plan, then I will be there playing for United because that's what I'm paid to do.'
