The Dutchman's future has
been plunged into further doubt after he was overlooked, despite wearing the
armband for his country and Arsenal in the past
The uncertainty over Robin van Persie's
long-term future at Manchester United has increased after he was left out of a
list of potential captains on the club's official site.
With current skipper Nemanja Vidic set to
depart Old Trafford this season, the club
uploaded a feature entitled 'Reds' leadership credentials'.
It examined five possible candidates to
take the armband, with Van Persie strangely omitted.
Wayne Rooney, Phil Jones, Jonny Evans,
Darren Fletcher and David De Gea were all on the list, but there was no place
for the Dutchman.
The striker is currently captain of his
national side and also wore the armband during the final season with Arsenal -
making his exclusion even more strange.
It further increases speculation
surrounding his spell at Old Trafford, with reports suggesting he is unconvinced by David
Moyes' regime.
Earlier this month, he was linked with a sensational return to the
Emirates, with United set to miss out on this season's Champions
League.
The majority of our readers felt Van
Persie would be making a huge mistake but the latest development only adds fuel
to the rumours.
Also omitted from the list was Patrice
Evra, who, like Vidic, finds himself out of contract at the end of the
campaign. Michael Carrick is also overlooked.
