Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that Wayne Rooney will return to action against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

The 26-year-old striker was absent from Man United's 2-1 defeat to Ajax in the Europa League a fortnight ago with a throat infection.

The frontman's illness also prevented him from featuring in England's 3-2 defeat to the Netherlands in an international friendly this week.

Meanwhile, Tottenham's star winger Gareth Bale is a doubt for the Premier League clash as the Welsh international struggles with a hamstring injury.
