Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed Wayne Rooney will be in the squad for tomorrow's clash with Wigan Athletic.
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 ankle injury.
The 25-year-old has not returned to full training yet but he has done a sufficient amount of work to be considered for a spot on the bench, with Sir 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 on Saturday," Ferguson told radio station Key103.
"Maybe he will reach the bench. But he will certainly play on Wednesday against Rangers."
