”They Are Often In My Area” RVP

Robin Van Persie has accused his Manchester United team mates of getting in his way following Tuesday’s defeat to Olympiakos.

It was a frustrating night for the Dutchman as he struggled to make an impact, but he claimed after the match that his cause was not helped by the positioning of some of his team-mates.

Van Persie, who wasted  an opportunity to give his side an all important away goal when he blazed a shot over the crossbar in the closing stages said he was mostly being interrupted by his team mates during the game.

“It was quite difficult because my team-mates are often in the area where I want to play,”

“That’s why I have to change my tactics. Unfortunately, they are often in my area.

“It was much too slow and we only had one shot on target in the whole match against Olympiakos, which is far too little. Everyone is very disappointed.”

Goals from Alejandro Dominguez and Arsenal loanee Joel Campbell put the Greek side in command after the first leg of the last-16 tie.

United have to win by three clear goals in the second leg at Old Trafford to be sure of their passage to the quarter-finals.
