Robin van Persie reveals Manchester United meeting after Leicester loss

Robin van Persie reveals Manchester United meeting after Leicester loss


Manchester United striker Robin van Persie has revealed manager Louis van Gaal held a one-hour meeting following their shock 5-3 defeat at Leicester last weekend.

United led 2-0 and 3-1 before succumbing at the King Power Stadium to highlight the defensive frailties in the side.

Van Gaal subsequently called a lengthy post-match debriefing and Van Persie feels it has helped them as they prepare to face West Ham at Old Trafford on Saturday.

“It shouldn’t be possible, but it still happened,” Van Persie told Fox Sports Australia. “We have to deal with it. We had a proper look at it the next day.

“Sometimes it was a bit confronting. It was a long meeting, one hour or something, but we went from there, started again this week and got a couple of really good sessions in and everyone feels ready to face West Ham.

“When you look at the defensive mistakes, it starts somewhere else. That’s what we looked at as well.

“It’s not just the one mistake that happens – there’s a mistake before the mistake and before the mistake, sometimes positional wise.”

Van Persie has also spoken to captain Wayne Rooney and summer loan signing Radamel Falcao to discuss how they can become a more potent strikeforce.

“We want to play together,” he said. “We are constantly talking to each other, asking ‘how can we improve our game together?’ Everyone feels together we are stronger.

“It’s quite interesting to see one of these conversations because we all have the same targets. We all want to win games and to share success.”
