Nani and Rooney could make comeback's in Cup

Wayne Rooney and Nani could make their comebacks in Manchester United’s FA Cup third round replay against West Ham a week tomorrow, following Robin van Persie’s injury-time goal at Upton Park on Saturday.





Rooney has been missing since Christmas Day with a knee-ligament injury while Nani has been out since November because of a hamstring problem.

Vidic set to return, Nani blow

Nemanja Vidic is back in training and could make his Manchester United return next week, but Nani is unlikely to play again this year.

Serbia international defender Vidic could make a surprise comeback in United's Champions League tie at home to Cluj on Wednesday.



The 31-year-old has been out since September after undergoing knee surgery but United manager Sir Alex Ferguson revealed on Friday his captain had returned to training and an appearance against Cluj at Old Trafford was a possibility.



"It would be nice for him to play on Wednesday," said Ferguson.



"We are not afraid of that."



However, there was less good news about Portugal winger Nani, who has been missing since the beginning of the month with a hamstring injury.



"Nani is going to be out for a longer spell, possibly another four or five weeks," said Ferguson.



The United manager also confirmed Antonio Valencia would miss Saturday's trip to Reading with a hip injury.

Nani in United contract talks

Portugal forward Nani has revealed he is in negotiations with Manchester United over a new deal at the club.



Nani's future has been in doubt since United's reported offer of a wage increase to 90,000 pounds per week was turned down by his advisors, leading to a stalemate between both parties while the 25-year-old was on international duty at Euro 2012.



The winger is now enjoying a three-week break following Portugal's semi-final exit at the tournament.



However, the former Sporting Lisbon man has said his agent has resumed talks with the club over a new deal, while also claiming he is happy at the Red Devils.



"We will see," he told the Times of India when asked about his future with the Old Trafford club.



"I am very happy at Man United and have been there five years and won every title.



"The manager has great faith in me and that's what is important. My agent is negotiating and we'll see what happens."



Nani spoke of his disappointment at losing out on the English Premier League title to rivals Manchester City on the final day of last season.



"That's football - you are always going to suffer disappointments and you just have to deal with them," he said.



"Football is like life and so there will be times when you suffer a big disappointment.



"It hurt to miss the league title in the last minutes, City had incredible luck that day. Hopefully next season is our turn and it's up to us to make that happen."
