Robin Van Persie is declining horribly

Everyone knows it anyway, but look at the statistics:

I think United could still get potentially decent money for him, if they decide to sell - which they should do. I wouldn't be surprised if he leaves at the end of the season.

He had a hit and miss season last due to injury but this season, physically he's struggling. Still think the exertions of the WC are taking its toll (not helped by the knee injury suffered at the end of last season) and LVG, doesn't seem keen to drop him. I'd play Mata behind Falcao and Rooney. Juan is a better number ten than Rooney.

RVP could do with a break, to recharge and see how he does til the end of the season. If Falcao joins permanently, Wilson gets minutes and shows promise, if a decent offer came for RVP would consider it but don't see that happening.

Last season, in many eyes, Rooney was undroppable by Moyes. Hope same doesn't occur with LVG and RVP. Latter clearly needs a break and I think that knee injury he suffered towards the end of last season could see a decline in his movement and more in the box stationary kinda striker. But Mata behind Rooney/Falcao ideally when former returns.
