Robin van Persie to return against Swansea City

Manchester United striker Robin van Persie has been declared fit for his side's match at Swansea City on Saturday afternoon.

The 31-year-old, who has scored 10 times this season, was forced to miss United's 3-1 victory over Preston North End in the FA Cup on Monday night through injury.

However, manager Louis van Gaal has revealed that the Dutchman will be part of his 18-man squad that features at the Liberty Stadium.

Van Gaal has also announced that defender Phil Jones is available after missing the fixture at Deepdale.
