Van Persie has no chance of playing –Van Gaal
The striker returned to pre-season training tardy after reaching the World Cup semi-finals, under Van Gaal, with the Netherlands.
And, asked whether Van Persie might be fit enough to play on Saturday, Van Gaal verbally expressed, “No chance. He has to train.”
The comments echo the former Bayern Munich and Barcelona coach’s verbalization from earlier this month, when he presaged Van Persie would not be yare.
“Robin wants to play every game, I ken that, but so do the other 30 players in the squad,” he verbally expressed at the time. “But players have to train and Robin needs a full training regime abaft him afore he can play again,”
Big-mazuma signing Luke Shaw will additionally miss out on Saturday after picking up a hamstring injury, but Van Gaal is confident of filling the gap left by the teenager.
“We played in the USA [pre-season tour] with Reece James and Ashley Young in that position [left wing-back],” he reminded heralds. “I’m not apprehensive.”
Sam Johnstone, Antonio Valencia, Jonny Evans and Danny Welbeck all join Shaw in being unavailable for the Premier League curtain-raiser through injury.
