The fit-again England international midfielder will play no part in this weekend's match at Everton but is expected to return to first team action when United play The Hammers at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
"Michael has trained all week," manager Sir Alex Ferguson has said.
"He will be available to face West Ham on Wednesday. It's good he's back.
"It's good to have a good, strong squad. It's a case of picking the right team."
