Wayne Rooney training on Tuesday.

UNITED HANDED ROONEY FITNESS BOOST

Wayne Rooney is set to return for Manchester United's Champions League encounter with AC Milan at Old Trafford.

Rooney missed Saturday's win over Wolves with a knee injury but has recovered sooner than expected and will play as the Red Devils defend a 3-2 lead and try to book a place in the last eight.

Michael Owen (hamstring), Wes Brown (broken foot), Anderson (knee) are all out, Michael Carrick is suspended and Ryan Giggs is unlikely to be involved despite returning to training after breaking his arm at Aston Villa last month.

Team

Manchester United (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Foster, De Laet, Neville, Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evans, Evra, Fabio, Park, Valencia, Scholes, Fletcher, Gibson, Obertan, Giggs, Nani, Rooney, Berbatov, Diouf.
