Fight For Your Place, LVG Warns RVP

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has warned striker Robin van Persie he will have to fight for his place now that Radamel Falcao is back in the squad.


Asked if Falcao's return would increase the pressure on Van Persie, who was substituted against his former club Arsenal last weekend having had just 13 touches of the ball, Van Gaal said: "Every player in my selection has to fight for his position and I shall always take the best of the players and it must also be suitable for the mix of players. So it is also an obligation of a player that he does that."

Asked if he felt confident that Falcao can start to live up to his potential, the United boss added: "I hope so because we have him on loan because of that."
