Rooney and Hernandez to return for United

11:28 am on 1 October 2011

The Manchester United strikers Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez have recovered from injury and are available for Sunday's Premier League football match at home to Norwich City.

The pair missed Wednesday's 3-3 home draw with Basel in the Champions League as Rooney was recovering from a hamstring problem and Hernandez from a dead leg.

Although Rooney and Hernandez were missing against Basel in the Champions League draw manager Sir Alex Ferguson says a shaky defence rather than a weakness in attack was to blame as United threw away a two-goal lead to trail 3-2 before Ashley Young's last-gasp equaliser.

Ferguson says his team had been rather "cavalier" in their approach and needed to tighten up.

Unbeaten United have scored 22 goals in six league games so far and are top of the table on goal difference from neighbours Manchester City.
