Van Persie sidelined with ankle injury
Robin van Persie will miss the visit of Sunderland on Saturday with the ankle injury he sustained during the 2-1 loss to Swansea City last weekend.
Manchester United's top scorer left the Liberty Stadium on crutches after appearing to sustain the problem when attempting to cross the ball in the closing stages of the luckless defeat.
Louis van Gaal has offered no timeframe regarding his fellow Dutchman's length of absence, with the FA Cup tie against the striker's former club Arsenal looming large on the horizon on 9 March.
In an interview with MUTV, manager van Gaal confirmed: "He [Robin] is the only injured player. He has an ankle injury. We have to wait and see how long that shall take."
There is better news on James Wilson andMichael Carrick, with the young striker available at the weekend despite suffering a dead leg in the Under-21s' draw at Sunderland on Monday. Carrick, meanwhile, is edging closer to a return after returning to training on Thursday.
"He [Michael] is very experienced and he can play in a very important position," added van Gaal. "But he also needs match rhythm. He trained only one time with us, with the group, so he needs to also play in the second team."
Кога сме кај " shall" дали сум јас единствениот што го читам со неговиот акцент
@Ilumious тоа виер е што тренира со прв тим?
