Manchester United striker Radamel Falcao has revealed that he is back in training following a recent spell on the sidelines.

The 28-year-old, who joined the Red Devils on loan from Monaco in the summer, missed yesterday's victory over Arsenal due to what manager Louis van Gaal described as being a "new injury".

Falcao has made just five appearances for United to date due to an injury-plagued start to life at Old Trafford, although he is now nearing full fitness and "ready to help the team" in the coming weeks.

Taking to Twitter this afternoon, the Colombia international said: "Back to training 100 per cent and ready to help the team in the next games."

United return to action next weekend with the visit of Hull City.
