It is time to drop Robin van Persie

Robin van Persie is yet to find his form this season, but at this point in the season, that is simply not good enough.

The Dutchman walks into the team and does not earn his place.

When Radamel Falcao is back from injury, he must start ahead of Van Persie (especially if the rumours of a £44 million permanent deal has been struck are true).

Falcao was signed for a reason – not to sit on the bench.

In order for Manchester United to win – and score goals – Van Gaal must become realistic about the role Van Persie is currently playing in the United team.
