Soccer:Wayne Rooney is set to make his comeback for Manchester United against Wigan tomorrow despite not having returned to full training following an ankle injury.
Rooney has not figured for the Red Devils since his brief substitute appearance against West Brom last month, since when he has signed a new five-year contract and been to the United States for conditioning work on his troublesome injury.
The 25-year-old has done a sufficient amount of work to be considered for a spot on the bench, with Alex Ferguson confirming Rooney will definitely play some part in Wednesday’s Champions League encounter with Rangers at Ibrox.
“I don’t think he’ll start tomorrow,” Ferguson said. “Maybe he will reach the bench. But he will certainly play on Wednesday against Rangers.”
Ferguson also has doubts over Ryan Giggs and Rafael as United look to close the gap on Premier League leaders Chelsea.
