The Dutch international Robin van Persie has returned to light training at Old Trafford and is expected to be perfect in the New Year to lead the struggling Manchester United’s strike force.
Van Persie succumbed to a thigh, toe and groin problems while playing champions league match against the Ukranian outfit Shakhtar Donetska, and coach David Moyes is optimistic that the striker is back by New Year.
“Robin started some light training and he might not be too far away,” Moyes said.
“We’ve not had van Persie and Rooney as a partnership very often and we are looking forward to getting them back together.”
Moyes also talked about Rooney’s fitness that he is likely to come back to face Tottenham on New Year’s Day after he had a groin problem.
“I would expect Rooney to be back for Wednesday, hopefully. But he’s got an adductor injury in his groin, which kept him out of the Stoke game in the league Cup.
