Rooney & Martial in fitness boost for Man Utd


Louis van Gaal is likely to be able to call upon his two most recognised strikers again after both took part in training ahead of Wednesday's Champions League match against PSV

Manchester United have been given a boost ahead of their potentially decisive Champions League group encounter with PSV following the return to training of Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial.

The England captain missed last weekend’s Premier League victory over Watford through illness, while Martial failed to recover from the an ankle injury sustained while on international duty with France.

Louis van Gaal was forced to select an experimental forward line that included Jesse Lingard and Memphis Depay for the 2-1 victory at Vicarage Road that temporarily sent his side top of the Premier League table.

United have recovered well from Champions League matchday one defeat in Eindhoven and now lead Group B by a single point from Wednesday's opponents and Wolfsburg.

CSKA Moscow have four points from as many games but still retain an outside shot at qualifying for the knockout stages as the competition enters the final two group-stage games.
