Robin van Persie's future was cast into doubt as Louis van Gaal refused to say if the striker will be at Manchester United next season.

The former Arsenal captain, who skippered Van Gaal's Holland team as they finished third in last summer's World Cup, is out of contract in 2016 and is yet to be offered a new deal.

He has only started once since suffering an ankle injury at Swansea in February and has been displaced by Wayne Rooney as United's first-choice striker.

And while United are likely to lose one forward, as Radamel Falcao's loan spell ends, Van Gaal did not guarantee his fellow Dutchman will be at Old Trafford again.

He is poised to hold talks with several players about their futures on Sunday and Monday and was reluctant to divulge what he will say to Van Persie.
