Rooney and Vidic return for Utd
Wayne Rooney and Nemanja Vidic are set to return for Manchester United for their Premier League encounter with Newcastle at Old Trafford.
Rooney missed Tuesday night’s draw with Benfica with a hip injury sustained last week at Swansea whilst Vidic was ruled out through suspension.
However, both are included in a squad missing Anderson (knee), Michael Owen (thigh) and Tom Cleverley (ankle) as the Red Devils look to close the gap on leaders Manchester City to two points.
Provisional squad: De Gea, Lindegaard, Rafael, Smalling, Fabio, Jones, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evans, Evra, Nani, Valencia, Gibson, Carrick, Fletcher, Park, Giggs, Young, Rooney, Hernandez, Berbatov.
