Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney says with the medical room now clearing their title push is gaining momentum.

Rooney believes United are getting their players back just at the right time to put the squeeze on Chelsea.

Nemanja Vidic and Wes Brown have returned to the fold along with the Da Silva twins, meaning Darren Fletcher and Michael Carrick can revert to their normal midfield positions.

Rooney said: "We're getting our players back. The number of players we've had out has been unusual.

"But it's happened and, thankfully, we're still in a good position. Hopefully, we can kick on from here.

"Goal-scoring wise I'm doing well and enjoying it so, hopefully, that can continue."
