Cavani delighted to be back in Man Utd training

Edinson Cavani has returned to training at Manchester United.

Cavani hasn't featured since playing against Atalanta on November 2 - he scored a goal in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's last win as United boss on October 31 against Tottenham.

The 34-year-old striker is however back in training, as he revealed himself on social with a post saying "already training with the group", but tonight's Champions League game against Young Boys comes too soon.

Ralf Rangnick confirmed that Cavani, along with Raphael Varane, have returned to training in a boost ahead of the festive period.

"They both cannot play tomorrow but they were part of the training session today, Edi even yesterday, for Rapha it was the first time he was on the pitch together with the team," Rangnick said.

"If everything goes well I expect both of them back in full training next week, hopefully Monday next week they will be participating in all training sessions.

"Obviously, they're both top players, we would be happy to have them on board as soon as possible but especially with Rapha and his injury record in the past."
