Man Utd to offer struggling Van Persie new contract

Manchester United are ready to offer new terms to Robin van Persie.

The Daily Star says United are ready to offer the Dutch striker, 31, a two-year extension to his current deal, which is up at the end of next season.

After a brilliant first season at Old Trafford, Van Persie's last campaign was wrecked by injury.

And his future at United has been questioned after a quiet start to this season.

There has been talk of a move to one of Turkey's big clubs, Galatasaray or Fenerbahce, or a return to Holland.

But United boss Louis van Gaal remains a fan of his World Cup captain in Brazil this summer.
