Rooney set for Man Utd comeback against Wigan

Wayne Rooney is set to make his comeback for Manchester United against Wigan on Saturday after injury. 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.

Reds boss Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed 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."
