Reds boss Sir Alex Ferguson has taken a young squad to Roma for the meaningless final Group F match.
Wes Brown and Michael Carrick are the only other players besides Rooney who started against Derby County on Saturday.
Rooney has been handed the captaincy, after much persistence from the 22-year-old.
"He has been pestering me for quite a while now, so I have given in," said Sir Alex.
United from: Kuszczak, Heaton, Brown, Eckersley, O'Shea, Pique, Evans, Simpson, Lee, Chester, Cleverley, Hewson, Nani, Eagles, Carrick, Fletcher, Dong, Brandy, Saha, Rooney.
