Rooney returns to hurt Everton

The England forward's double in the mid-week Champions League victory against AC Milan took his tally for the season to 25 goals and he will be eager for more as United continue their quest for a fourth straight Premier League title at Goodison Park.
Rooney has become something of a hate figure for Everton fans, having left the club to move to Old Trafford in 2004, but he will be the last person who wants United manager Sir Alex Ferguson to give him a rest this weekend with their side a point behind leaders Chelsea."Particularly in the last two months we have seen development in his game and confidence has a lot to do with that," Ferguson said of Rooney. "His basic ability is as good as any of (the world's top) players. What he's got to do is improve his goalscoring, which he's now doing and if he continues that trend then he's got to be regarded alongside any player."
