Manchester United have been boosted by the news that Wayne Rooney has returned to training and should be fit to face Fulham on December 3. It was feared that the England striker faced a lengthy spell on the sidelines after he was injured in a bizarre training ground accident, but he will be back sooner than expected ahead of the busy Christmas period.

The Reds take on Bolton on at the Reebok on Saturday and Carlos Tevez has insisted that he's not tired and that he's ready to play, we shall see how the Argentine copes as he must surely be jet-lagged after travelling back to his homeland to play two games for his country.

Not so good news to report on Nemanja Vidic who is suffering with a back injury which was sustained on the training ground while on international duty. United's medical staff have been assessing the defender ahead of the Bolton game and Gerard Pique is standing by.

Meanwhile John O'Shea has signed a three year contract extension, the utility player will no doubt continue to be plug any wholes in Ferguson's team when required.
