The Telegraph is reporting that Wayne Rooney will be fit for Sunday’s Manchester derby game against City. The forward, who has missed the club’s most recent three games through suspension, should be ready to return against their rivals. Falcao should also return, although Phil Jones’ shin splints will almost certainly rule him out.
Falcao to sign permanently
In other Falcao news, the deal to sign the forward has been formally agreed, according to the Irish Mirror. The Colombian will cost United £44m, and will reportedly be on £245,000 a week.
United scouts watch Gianni Imbula and Nicholas Nkoulou for Marseille

James Wilson wants more game time
The Daily Mirror claim that United youngster James Wilson, who has recently been promoted to Louis Van Gaal’s first team squad wants more minutes for the Red Devils. The youngster, who scored twice on his United debut in May, has some serious competition however, with Falcao, Wayne Rooney and Van Persie all ahead of him in the pecking order.
