Manchester United duo Maraoune Fellaini and Robin van Persie have reportedly returned to training.

The Dutch striker has been out of action since injuring his thigh taking a corner in the 1-0 win against Shakhtar Donetsk on December 10.

Fellaini underwent surgery on a wrist injury before Christmas, but both players are ready to return to full training after taking part in a session on Tuesday at Carrington, according to Goal.com.
