Van Persie admits last Man Utd campaign not good enough

Robin van Persie admits his performances last season wasn't good enough at Manchester United.

The Netherlands international scored 10 Premier League goals in 25 starts during a campaign marred by injury.

"Last season I was second top scorer behind Wayne Rooney with 10 goals," Van Persie said.

"But people don't seem to accept this. I think that is deserved, because it says a lot that Wayne (Rooney) is top scorer with 12 goals.

"In all the other top teams, there is a minimum of one player who makes more than 25 goals over all competition. Not at United. That's the reality and I feel responsible for that."
