Manchester United: No return date set for Robin Van Persie
Red Devils under pressure manager David Moyes insists that Robin van Persie's groin injury is "nothing desperately serious" but he also revealed that he does not know when he will be back. The Dutch striker has missed Manchester United's last four fixtures. His last appearance was against Arsenal, his former team, and he decided that match as he bagged the winning goal for United. In Van Persie's absence Manchester United only managed to take two points from their last three Premier League matches and slipped 12 points behind league leaders Arsenal. The poor streak culminated with a 1-0 defeat at Old Trafford against Everton on Wednesday. The situation seems even more desperate if you consider that Wayne Rooney will be unavailable for the next Premier League match after collecting his fifth yellow card of the season in the Everton match. Moyes says that he is no position to speculate on whether Van Persie will be fit for Manchester United's weekend match against Newcastle. "I don't know when he will return. We've been trying to get him back for a few weeks. But he is not ready yet. It's his groin. It's a sore groin injury and nothing desperately serious." Here are the odds at Bet365 for United's Saturday match at Old Trafford against Newcastle: Manchester United win - 4/9 Draw - 10/3 Newcastle win - 6/1
