Robin Van Persie to miss today's clash

Manchester: Striker Robin van Persie will miss Manchester United's game at West Ham today because of a knee injury.

United will assess winger Antonio Valencia after he sustained a gruesome black eye against Olympiacos in midweek. Meanwhile, defenders Jonny Evans (calf) and Chris Smalling (hamstring) are doubtful, but Nemanja Vidic is definitely out through suspension.
