Rooney ready to tackle Hammers

Published Aug. 27, 2010 3:18 p.m. ET

Rooney, who has not scored since March, missed Sunday's draw at Fulham with a virus but has trained all week and is virtually certain to make Sir Alex Ferguson's starting line-up. Rio Ferdinand and Anderson are both nearing a return to first-team duties after respective knee ligament injuries, although neither will be considered to face Avram Grant's men. United (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Neville, Rafael, O'Shea, Vidic, Evans, Brown, Smalling, Evra, Fabio, Valencia, Gibson, Fletcher, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs, Nani, Rooney, Berbatov, Hernandez, Owen, Macheda.
