Boost for Red Devils title dreams

Wayne Rooney has made a sensational recovery from injury and is expected to play in Manchester United’s final two games of the season. In what is a major boost to the Red Devils title push, the England striker has apparently overcome a niggling groin strain and is fit and raring to play against Sunderland on Sunday. The 34-goal striker has had a number of injury problems in the last two months, starting with an inflamed kneecap and then damaged tendons in his ankle. But despite having his foot put in a cast and walking with crutches after the Champions League first leg clash with Bayern Munich, he missed only one game before returning to action. In a further boost for United, Rio Ferdinand, who has missed the last two games with a groin injury, is also expected to be fit for the Sunderland game.
