Manchester United striker Radamel Falcao has rubbished claims that he has to ice his knee regularly in order to carry on playing.

The 28-year-old suffered a serious anterior cruciate injury in January, and The Guardian is among the papers to have claimed that the United forward is still feeling the effects. It was, says the paper the "third severe knee injury of Falcao's career and ruled him out for eight months". The absence meant Falcao missed Colombia's appearances in the summer World Cup finals in Brazil and only returned to action on 10 August when he scored in Monaco's 2-1 defeat to fellow French side Lorient.
