Rooney to return against Rangers

13 September 2010 16:00
Wayne Rooney is set to return to the Manchester United starting line-up for the Champions League encounter with Rangers at Old Trafford. Sir Alex Ferguson left Rooney out of his matchday squad for Saturday's Barclays Premier League trip to Everton in an effort to protect his star striker from the abuse he was expected to receive. But Rooney will play and is expected to be joined in the United line-up by Rio Ferdinand. Michael Carrick (Achilles) is definitely out.
