Manchester United striker Robin van Persie says he's happy with his fitness.

Van Persie has complained about various niggles in recent weeks, but was pleased to be back for their win over Stoke City.

"To be honest, I've never felt better," said Van Persie.

"It has been quite tough for me. The last few weeks I have been suffering from aches in a few places and I wanted to play through it."
