Blow For Man United As Van Persie Is Ruled Out For One Month

December 14, 2013 by Don Saint 1 Comment

Robin van Persie will play no part in Manchester United’s busy holiday programme after being ruled out for a month with a thigh injury, manager David Moyes said on Friday.

With United trying to claw back the damage of a poor first third of the Premier League season, starting at Aston Villa on Sunday, the Dutchman’s absence is a big blow.

“Robin van Persie is out for a month. He picked up a thigh strain in taking a corner kick which led to the goal (against Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday),” Moyes said.

Van Persie, who has scored seven goals in 11 Premier League matches this season, only returned from a groin injury in last weekend’s 1-0 home defeat by Newcastle United.

“It’s unfortunate because I think if you look at our record with Wayne Rooney and Robin in the team, it is actually very good.

“But we have not had them for quite a period recently,” Moyes said.

Responsibility will now fall to Rooney who has been in great form this season
