Man Utd exit not on the agenda for van Persie

Robin van Persie is not looking to leave Manchester United anytime soon.

The Daily Mail reports that the 31-year old Dutch striker believes he still has a future at Old Trafford despite the fact he is don the pecking order under Louis van Gaal.

Wayne Rooney has been preferred as striker recently but that has not dampened van Persie's spirits as he comes toward the end of his third season with the Red Devils.

A source close to the Holland international said: "Robin is in no rush to leave. He still thinks he can achieve things and contribute at Old Trafford."

This season, the former Arsenal captain has scored 10 goals in 25 Premier League appearances but has been restricted recently due to an ankle injury.
