Rooney Set For Rovers Return

The United boss is also not ruling out the possibility of Rooney, who has been sidelined for almost two months with a hamstring injury, being named amongst his substitute's for the match against Fulham at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.

"Wayne should be ready for Saturday's game against Blackburn, we're quite confident of that," Fergie told MUTV.

"He may have a slight chance of being fit for a place on the bench on Wednesday."
