Rooney and United duo set for Norwich return

Manchester United could welcome as much as three players back from injury for the clash against Norwich.

Captain Wayne Rooney is in line for his 500th appearance for the club, making him 10th on the list of players with the highest number of appearances for the club.

Van Gaal speaking  on his captain ahead of the tie said: "It is possible he can play, but we have to wait and see."

Van Gaal also revealed that the duo of Cris Smalling and Ander Herrera have trained all week and could be set for a return.

Ashely Young is a major doubt After manager Van Gaal said the winger is "progressing".

Schneiderlin and Jones were both on the bench in the Bournemouth defeat and either of them could be back in the starting eleven.

Forward Lingard and defender Darmian are both out of the tie. Lingard suffered a knock against Bournemouth and Darmian injured his hamstring in the away defeat to Wolfsburg.

Schweinsteiger remains unavailable as he sits out the second game of his three match suspension.

Defenders Marcos Rojo, Luke Shaw and Antonio Valencia are long term absentees and are all unavailable.
