Man Utd boss Moyes confident Van Persie will make festive programme

Manchester United boss David Moyes has no concerns over Robin van Persie's injury problems.

Moyes believes his Holland striker could play a part in United's Christmas programme, although the Boxing Day fixture against Hull is a few days too early.

"Robin is progressing, coming on," said Moyes. "He's doing quite well. He's feeling quite good, but we've got to make sure.

"He has had a similar injury at Arsenal on his thigh, so it's something we have to make sure that wouldn't be repeated. We will try to do it steadily."
