AC Milan star Ronaldinho admits the Italians have a plan to keep Wayne Rooney quiet in their UEFA Champions League showdown.

The Rossoneri travel to Old Trafford on Wednesday trailing 3-2 from the first leg, with Rooney having proved to be their tormentor in chief with two goals in the San Siro.

Ronaldinho is wary of the threat posed by Rooney and believes keeping him quiet represents Milan's best chance of reaching the quarter-finals.

"Rooney was incredible in the first match," Ronaldinho told The Sun.

"We have watched videos of the game and the key to victory for us will be stopping him receiving the ball close to our penalty area.

"If we can stop him our own options soar. We can beat United.

"As far as I am concerned, this match is like the Champions League final itself.

"I see a very attacking game with many goals."
