”Van is happy” David Moyes

Manchester United boss, David Moyes has dismissed claims that striker Robin van Persie is unhappy at Old Trafford.

Reports had suggested that the  Holland striker was unsettled at the club following the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson at the end of last season.

“It couldn’t be further from the truth,” Moyes said about the claims.

Ferguson wrote in his autobiography that he apologised to Van Persie as he had told him he was not retiring soon when he signed him from Arsenal in 2012.

Speculation had increased that the former Arsenal striker was no longer happy at Old Trafford as United slipped off the pace in the title race, but Moyes insisted that the story was not true.

“I keep saying it is untrue but for some reason people don’t want to write it or hear it,” said Moyes.
