Robin van Persie is tipped to be named Manchester United captain for today's clash with Everton.
The People says Van Persie is set to captain Manchester United against Everton as Wayne Rooney starts a three match ban.
The Holland striker - Louis van Gaal's skipper during the World Cup in Brazil - is believed to have been given the captain's armband with Rooney's deputy Darren Fletcher unlikely to start against Roberto Martinez's men at Old Trafford.
It's a big boost for Van Persie, who had been in contention to be full-time skipper once Van Gaal was appointed.
