Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is anticipating a double boost in time for the Premiership clash with West Bromwich Albion a week today with Michael Carrick and Owen Hargreaves set to return following their injury problems.

England midfielders Carrick and Hargreaves have recovered after their foot and knee problems respectively and are expected to feature against the Baggies at Old Trafford.

"We are expecting Michael to be available next week. He is almost back to full training now," said Ferguson in the Manchester Evening News.

"Owen is much better and we will pencil him in for the West Brom game without question," added the Red Devils boss.
