Robin Van Persie out of Man Utd’s game against Liverpool

Robin Van Persie has been ruled out of tomorrow’s Capital One Cup clash with Liverpool and is a doubt for Saturday’s game against West Brom.

The Manchester United striker missed his side’s derby day defeat to Manchester City on Sunday and will not feature against the Reds.

United boss David Moyes said: “I don’t think he will play on Wednesday, but I think there’s an outside chance for Saturday.”

The Dutchman will miss out on the chance to catch up with old pal Steven Gerrard.

United fans – and Moyes – will be hoping he is fit for the weekend to help them to bounce back in the league.
