Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that Wayne Rooney will return to action for Manchester united at tottenham on sunday. Rooney had missed United’s last two games with a throat infection, which also ruled him out of England’s friendly defeat by Holland in midweek. However, Ferguson says defender Chris Smalling was in doubt after he was taken to hospital on wednesday evening after a nasty clash of heads with Netherland’s klaas Jan Huntelaar. United heads to Tottenham bidding to defend a 25-match winning run against the north London outfit. Their last defeat to Tottenham was in may 2001.
