Wayne Rooney’s return from a gashed thigh in Wednesday’s Capital One cup win over Newcastle opens up the possibility of Ferguson being able to field his perceived number one forward pairing for the first time this season when Manchester United entertain Tottenham tonight.

On ability and price tag alone, Rooney and Robin van Persie deserve first chance to operate in tandem.
