Arsenal hero Martin Keown has branded Robin van Persie an "embarrassment" at Manchester United. Keown feels United need to dump the Dutchman this summer.

He wrote in the Daily Mail: "This year we all expected him to flourish under Louis van Gaal. The pair had worked together for Holland and it seemed a natural fit.

"Instead, Wayne Rooney was made captain and Van Persie has disappeared into the shadows. He has almost become an embarrassment for Van Gaal; a problem the meticulous manager has not been able to solve."
