MANCHESTER, May 5 (AFP): Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is confident both Wayne Rooney and Patrice Evra will be fit for the crunch match with Premier League title rivals Chelsea at Old Trafford Sunday. England striker Rooney missed training Tuesday with a hamstring problem and was not even on the bench for Wednesday's 4-1 Champions League semi-final win against Schalke, which gave United a 6-1 aggregate success after a 2-0 first leg win in Germany. Evra came on as a second half substitute Wednesday but suffered a blow that at one stage looked as if the defender himself would need to be replaced.
