Manchester United could be handed a major injury boost ahead of their pivotal FA Cup replay against West Ham with Wayne Rooney in contention for the trip to Upton Park, according to the BBC.

Sunday’s loss means United trail Manchester City by four points in the race for the Champions League while their hopes of silverware now rest exclusively on the FA Cup. Both teams have to cope with that.
Wright feels that West Ham will be looking forward to facing Louis van Gaal’s side again, though, especially after watching them get beaten by Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend. However, before United get too concerned, it’s important to remember that Carroll had just four goals in 24 appearances prior to the Arsenal game. “Carroll has special qualities and we have seen that in the match at Arsenal. Unfortunately we didn’t do that and we have paid the price”. The English striker scored a hat-trick during the 3-3 draw against Arsenal on Saturday (9 April) as he makes a case for a place in the England squad for Euro 2016. “And (Manuel) Lanzini, who can score goals”, he added. “So I hope that we will improve our communication because this is a very important game for us”.
Bilic was impressed by the impact of Carroll and hopes he will be available to disrupt United’s defence. Tweet us your thoughts using #360fans.
“I have seen the Andy Carroll Show”.
The United skipper hasn’t played since limping out of the 2-1 defeat at Sunderland on February 13 but played 60 minutes for the youth team during a 1-0 win over Middlesbrough at Old Trafford on Monday night.

WEST HAM UNITED’S imminent departure from Upton Park is likely to produce several volumes of East End nostalgia, with dramatic floodlit nights down Green Street figuring prominently. And so given the Red Devils’ current state, positively feeble by their own recent standards, they will be more than welcome at the Boleyn for Wednesday’s game.
