David Moyes has declared Robin van Persie, Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand fit for Manchester United's trip to Fulham in the Barclays Premier League on Saturday.

Van Persie was allowed to rest a couple of niggling injuries during Tuesday’s 4-0 win over Norwich City in the Capital One Cup, a triumph that also saw Vidic and Ferdinand successfully return to first team action following their recent spells on the sidelines.

However, during his weekly press conference at the Aon Training Complex, the boss did rule Danny Welbeck out of contention and explained that the striker will not even travel to Craven Cottage as a result of the persistent knee injury that has plagued him of late.

“I think both (Vidic and Ferdinand) are very close to full fitness,” Moyes said. “They showed that in midweek when playing Premier League opposition. They both played for 90 minutes so I can't see any reason why they wouldn't be ready to be selected or involved.

"Van Persie has been fine. He's trained well and worked quite well this week so hopefully he will be okay. Welbeck has had a bit of fluid on his knee. He's trained for a few days this week so he's certainly getting much closer to match fitness but won't travel to Fulham this weekend.”
