Robin van Persie denies knee surgery reports

By , Reporter
Manchester United forward Robin van Persie denies that he needs surgery on his knee and labels the rumours as "nonsense".

Manchester United striker Robin van Persie has rubbished reports that he requires knee surgery, describing the rumours as "nonsense".

It was speculated that United's deadline-day capture of Radamel Falcao on a season-long loan was linked to fears that the Dutchman was facing a spell on the sidelines.

However, Van Persie, who does have an extensive history with knee injuries, claims that he is currently fit.

"I don't know where these rumours are coming from," Van Persie told FOX Sports.

"I can honestly say that I will not visit a hospital any time soon to undergo surgery. You need quite a lively fantasy to come up with this nonsense."

The 31-year-old ruptured his knee ligaments back in February but refused surgery at the time to boost his chances of making the Netherlands' World Cup squad.
