Ryan Giggs is confident that Wayne Rooney and Phil Jones will both recover from their respective injuries and be fit for England at the World Cup.

Rooney will miss Manchester United's trip to Southampton on Sunday's final day of the Premier League season due to a tight groin.

Giggs said: "Wayne has just started training over the last couple of days. Sunday probably will be a little be a bit too quick for him but he'll train and be fine for the World Cup."

Jones has a damaged shoulder, although it was not dislocated in a collision with Maynor Figueroa during Tuesday evening's 3-1 win over Hull City at Old Trafford.

Giggs said: "Phil's injury isn't as bad as I thought on the night. He's obviously out for Sunday but should be OK for the World Cup."

Giggs's tenure as the interim manager ends on Sunday, with Louis van Gaal's expected appointment set to follow. The 40-year-old admits the temporary nature of his appointment has allowed him to relax.

Giggs said: "There's not really a lot of pressure on me at the moment. It was four games and we couldn't really win anything, could only qualify for the Europa League and we'll carry on trying to do that. You get a little taste of the pressure you're put under regarding picking teams and wanting to do your best, so you get a little taste of it."
