Mad Dog says Man Utd must sell Van Persie

Former QPR midfielder Malcolm Allen feels Manchester United should sell Robin van Persie.

Mad Dog wrote in the Daily Mail: "The comments on Dutch TV by Robin van Persie that his team-mates are getting in his way and going into his positions are typical of the Dutch mentality that we've seen throughout their World Cup campaigns.

"We've seen players getting sent home for disagreeing with the manager, players getting sent home because they've complained they're not playing and players getting sent home because they're not happy with the bonuses.

"It's a very fine line between confidence and arrogance.

"Can you imagine Wayne Rooney's face when he read those comments?

"Clearly Van Persie wants out. Aged 30 and with a poor injury record he's the first one who should be shown the exit door in the summer."
