Former Liverpool defender Mark
Lawrenson has suggested that Robin van Persie has handed in a transfer request
at Manchester United.
The surprise news comes just weeks
after David Moyes was forced to deny claims that he had fallen out with Van
Persie in training, after they were pictured rowing during a session.
Lawrenson, who now works as a pundit for Match
of the Day, made the claim on an Irish radio station whilst discussing United’s
poor recent form.
He then added that he’d been told
about Van Persie’s desire to leave Old Trafford – and that the Dutchman had
asked for a transfer earlier in the week. ‘There’s all sorts of rumours coming
out of the training ground at the minute,’ said Lawrenson.
‘I know one or two of the press boys
that cover Manchester United, and they were saying there are whispers that Van
Persie might have asked for a transfer the other night.’
