LIVERPOOL, Sept 16 (AFP): Sir Alex Ferguson has signalled that Wayne Rooney will make his return to action in Wednesday's Champions League clash with Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese capital.
The England forward has not played since suffering a metatarsal fracture on the opening day of the season and, although he returned to full training last week, Ferguson declined to risk him against his old club Everton Saturday.
United came through the encounter without him, Nemanja Vidic's late header proving enough to secure all three points courtesy of the club's third straight 1-0 win.
