Van Persie unsure of long-term United future

With 18 months left to run on his contract, Robin van Persie admits he is in the dark over his long-term Manchester United future.

Robin van Persie in unclear about whether he has a long-term future at Manchester United. 

The Netherlands international striker is in his third season at Old Trafford following his August 2012 move from Arsenal and has 18 months left on his existing deal. 

While his return of 56 goals in 97 appearances for United is excellent, Van Persie has been hampered by his fair share of injury problems. 

And it remains to be seen what United have planned for Van Persie, who turns 32 next August.  

“It is not up to me,” Van Persie told reporters on Monday at an event to mark the launch of United’s link-up with Swissquote as their first global official forex and online trading partner. 

“For the moment, I am staying here for 18 months. That is it really. 

“I can’t look into the future. I don’t know what is going to happen after that. We shall have to wait and see.”
