Sir Alex Ferguson will wait for news from Wayne Rooney before deciding whether to include him in Manchester United's side to face CSKA Moscow.

Rooney's wife Coleen on Monday afternoon gave birth to a baby boy.

The child, who the couple have named Kai Wayne Rooney, was born at 2.20pm at Liverpool Women's Hospital, their spokesman said.

The spokesman added: "Mother and baby are both absolutely fine. Wayne and Coleen are thrilled with the wonderful addition to their family life."

Strike partner Dimitar Berbatov is also doubtful after taking a blow on the kneecap against Blackburn on Saturday, while Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand (both knee) and Ryan Giggs (hip) have already been ruled out.

Park Ji-sung will not be considered either, with Ferguson confirming the South Korean has been put on a two-week fitness programme after suffering a series of minor ailments.

The good news for Ferguson is that skipper Gary Neville is back from suspension and Scotland star Darren Fletcher will start after a month out with an ankle injury.

United (from): Van der Sar, Foster, Kuszczak, Rafael, O'Shea, Neville, De Laet, Brown, Evans, Evra, Fabio, Nani, Valencia, Gibson, Scholes, Anderson, Fletcher, Carrick, Obertan, Rooney, Berbatov, Owen, Macheda.
